    One just arrived with this at the bottom.

    Your CV has matched certain key word search criteria for the above role. Please accept my apologies if this email / job description is not of interest – the key word search is not infallible. If you feel you know someone who would be more suited to the vacancy then please take the time to forward this email on or provide me with their contact details – your help is much appreciated.

    Fecking useless

    I can only assume that they class words such as "the", "and", "or" etc as key words as they are the only ones that match in my CV.

    If anyone is interested in a permie PM role for OSS software in a Telco PM me and I'll forward it to you.

          They employ clueless grads fresh out of Uni, charge you £800 a day for them (whilst paying them £200 a day and expecting them to work 18 hour days and still attend evenings out with their team mates every weekend), and then you'll get a pretty report with lots of graphs and big words, saying how clever you were to employ them.
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
