My major issue right now is getting a ton of irrelevant emails and voicemails for roles that I am not at all qualified for.
They're borderline spam and follow the came basic format:
Hey atfateshands!
I've got a great FTE opportunity in your area. The company is really great and offers a ton of great perks.
insert another paragraph about how awesome the company is and how many "best places to work" awards it has won in the last few years
Then it lays out the req's and experience:
insert laundry list of technologies they want you to have. Usually stuff that's not all relevant to what you do. I'm a front-end dev and get all kinds of these for Java, .Net, Azure or other tech stacks I'm not at all involved in
Then the kicker:
"If you're not a good fit for this, please forward this on to anybody in your network who you think would be interested."
When I was looking for a gig about a year ago, I got sucked into many of these thinking they were legit. Now I just scan and delete them.
