    How many of these do you get a day...

    "Dear mcquiggd,

    you have been identified as someone who is a suitable candidate for a new exciting role which has arisen. Skills are vague, no mention of location, no mention of duration, no mention of salary. Please contact me if you are interested in this role."

    I get about 7-10... some don't even mention if it's contract or permanent.

    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Some do mention that it's permanent, after listing a set of requirements that resemble me not at all, and saying they think it might an interesting role for me.

          Recruiters only send me this kind of stuff by snail mail, usually arrives with a courier, in a nice basket containing a few bottles of "Dom Pérignon Rosé" and a contract offer letter with royal insignia on it.

          threaded.

            Not that many. You didn't get desperate and register with Office Angels, Blue Arrow, Reed and Adecco all at once did you?

              Nope... just JobServe some time ago. I still get emails to an old spam account from people who think I live in Norfolk, and use VB6.
