    More agency stupidness

    Recruiter - Hi I'm calling from Monarch IT - I'm interested in finding out if you're interested in a PHP developer job

    Me - Almost certainly not, I'm a UNIX Technical Architect

    Recruiter - Ah OK. What's your availability for interview?

    Me - Well it depends on what I'm doing at the time, maybe a couple of days, but to be honest, all I ever seem to get from you guys is spam

    Recruiter - Well it's because we do keyword searches and in this case you matched PHP

    Me - Right, but I'd kind of assume that you'd take even a cursory look at my CV before emailing or calling me.

    Recruiter - I suppose you're right. I'll let you know if we have anything suitable. *click*

    WTF!?
    And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

    I get much the same from them, Huxley, Hayes and Timothy James.

    The roles are unsuitable because they're based on things not even mentioned on my CV or roles that are 10 years old and so work I simply don't do any more.
