Ah, recruiter spam. This is why it’s useful to use a separate email address on your resume and Monster/Dice accounts: it makes it easier to filter out this spam after you’ve found a job. Let’s see… how many things are wrong with this one? I haven’t looked for a job since June 2006. I wasn’t looking in Pittsburgh. I never mentioned any skill in VB (although I actually do know VB 1-6), nor was I ever seeking a VB job. Never overestimate the intelligence or scruples of tech job recruiters.
