With the risk of sounding redundant: I would never wish to reverse the job seeking process for myself. I prefer to keep my destiny in my own hands and seek out the job I feel best fits my skills and interests. I don't trust potential employers to just magically find me, a single person, and appreciate me for what I am worth. Too many times already I have been approached by recruiters that get triggered by a line in my CV stating that I can do X or have experience using Y and want to hire me to do that for the rest of my life.
To all the good recruiters and intermediaries out there, I apologize. I have lost all faith in your profession and feel you treat the companies you represent as the customer and me as the product. Quite frankly, I'd rather pass and take my chances on my own.
