    Is the contracting market busy at the moment?

    The reason I ask is this:
    I have spent the morning clearing down the week's non-urgent emails.
    I have had 30 emails (granted they probably spammed their entire database!) from 30 different agencies with "job specs". These job specs vary from £200 inside to £1200/day inside.
    Now, heres the thing. I haven't sent a CV to an agency since this time in 2013! 9 years ago! My Current CV is completely different to my CV back then as well.
    Just wondering why they are blind spamming me?

    You have an e-mail address. They have your e-mail address. They are agents. That's about it, really.

      I have a job search email address when not searching I have a rule to point it to the circular file.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          I fixed that problem by submitting up to date CVs when I was looking: the emails stopped immediately. .
          When the fun stops, STOP.
