    Spamming agencies right back

    Just a (I suspect really dumb) thought:

    My sarky side is always tempted to apply for all these ridiculously inappropriate jobs I get mailed, just to make the point clear that the recruiter is completely incompetent. I would imagine some would be inept enough to forward my CV, hopefully get a bad rep and see their client base diminish.

    I get mailed about all sorts from Telecoms Engineer, to "Sandpit Consultant" (No joke!) - a recent gem found it's way to me stating "Experience with Steam, Filling Machine and Freeze Dryer is desired"

    Any thoughts? Anyone done it just for a laugh?

    LOL - Sandpit consultant. My daughter (age 1) could do that - I might forward her CV. She should be paying her way by now anyway....

      I have method on how to do this. Its oh so devious, I don't want to post in case any agencies get wind of it. Actually I don't want to get into trouble either.

        Take all the fun out of that one, why don't you! That's like waving a lolly at a kid but saying they can't have it.

            Quite how he arrived at that is beyond my comprehension...
