Just had one clown from one of the S3 lot email me a job for a permie Mechanical Engineer.

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

Look again at the photos of those agents on their site

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.

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.

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

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?
