I'm a Test Manager. I had an agent on yesterday offering me a position as a finance admin (or something like that) - start tomorrow to fill in for someone on sick leave, £9 and hour. The only relevance to my CV was the location of the "job".

Ah Apologies PMJunkie, thought you were tarring me with the tulip stick
I get it all the time, even from agencies I've never interacted with. Assume they have done a jobserve download and too lazy to actually call people, that or desperate and hoping I know someone.

Guessing he means agent who sent it to you if it is "not your area"
Many of us get jobs in our inbox's from agents that are in no way relevant to us
