I recently updated my resume on Dice, Monster and a handful of other sites

switching over more and more to a management focus.
Since doing this I've been contacted by recruiters from several different
insurance companies. Not for IT work, but for sales, i.e. they're claiming
that my skill (or possible lack thereof), in IT is somehow translatable to
the work of an insurance agent.
Just curious, but am I the only one seeing this sort of activity? I mean
I've had off the wall requests to interview before, for instance Windows
Admin when I specifically listed only linux skills, but this takes the cake
and the strangest part is it keeps happening.

It's just warm-body idiocy from places like Primerica or whatever they
call themselves. You'll want to ignore them unless you really want to
learn securities markets, in which case you really want to ignore them
and go to a legitimate agency that doesn't churn people through like a
classic MLM hype machine.
