Recruiters without clues

["Morton, Christopher" <CMorton -at- caiso -dot- com>]

I'm with Al, here. When I first starting using online recruiting tools,
I received all sorts of "hits" that had little or nothing to do with my
qualifications/interests. My perception is that such recruiters use
automated fishing tools, playing it strictly "by the numbers" (kinda
like spammers, huh?).

The REAL recruiter didn't respond via anonymous e-mail; rather, he
actually picked up the _phone_ (what a concept), arranged an interview
time and-voila-I became the marcomm guy for his client for the next
year-and-a-half.

I still like the approach of learning about those companies for whom you
think you'd like to work, then continuing a campaign of letter writing
(and/or whatever else) letting Mr./Ms. Right know why you feel strongly
about wanting to work for them. About the time of third letter either
_they_, or _you_, will get the message.
