RE: Followup: Starting over: was re:How do hiring companies view TW resumes?

Although gainfully employed and not looking, my resume is floating around in
cyberspace in dozens of places, and I get a lot of recruiter inquiries based
on my Linked In profile. For years I had listed "Arbortext Epic Editor"
experience ... I had to remove "Epic" because there is a radiology device of
the same name. I was being pelted with "job offers" from recruiters whose
email said, "after close examination of your resume, it is clear that you
are a perfect fit for this position in radiology at so-and-so medical clinic
in Pennsylvania" (I live in Oregon). Obviously a lot of these clowns just
live on keyword search and don't even look at your address.

resumes?

Apparently some "view" TW resumes with their glasses off.

Received an email this week from someone who said they saw my resume online
and 
wanted to know if I'd be interested in their "opportunity."  I wrote them a 
polite but negative reply because it didn't sound like something I'd be 
interested in.  Today it appeared on one of the job forums.  "Assistant to
the 
Technical Publications Director" at $15-25/hr DOE. I guess their next email
was 
to ask if a neurosurgeon wanted to apply for a job as an orderly...
