You have to understand one very important thing. Recruiters are the email advertisement newsletters of the real world. Someone (or yourself) places your email in a bucket and boom, you're getting this great offers, so yo go check one out. Then the offer is asking you to provide more info about yourself and then asks you to get other people involved. After a while of this process you start to get the impression that the offer is not worth it, and if you ever actually bought something you realize it was actually vastly overpriced (underpaid?). So you then click on the unsubscribe link, but alas they keep sending you stuff, and then you get emails of the people you placed in a similar position. Six months later you get emails from people you don't know asking you how you could be so stupid to start a chain reaction of people giving out other people's details, and then by chance you save a telemarketer from suicide and he then tells you the story of how he used to be in charge of a newsletter. He helps you unsubscribe and all, and then tells you: "Oh who cares about the offer (job?) it was no good anyways, we just wanted to get as many names and emails from you so we could tell our bosses that we deserve that 20 dollar bonus at the end of the month." Conclusion: Don't deal with recruiters, you need to build yourself as a brand and create your own reputation wherever you want to work. No excuses.
