I've put up job postings in the past and you get a lot of mindlessly submitted resumes that have nothing to do with what you're looking for. I can only imagine that number of mindless, irrelevant submissions has increased with the recession. Realistically, a company would take a person with the skillset and credentials they're looking for even if they're unemployed. They just don't want 500 irrelevant submissions for every 5 good ones, and "UNEMPLOYED NOT CONSIDERED" probably works more effective than "PLEASE ACTUALLY FRIGGING READ OUR POSTING AND ONLY APPLY IF YOU'RE A REAL CANDIDATE" - I'd still apply if I thought I was a relevant candidate and wanted a job though, I think this is largely much ado about nothing.
