Ha! When I was last looking for a job as a storage manager on the z/OS platform, a recruiter approached me with a position where I'd be responsible for renting out 10' x 10' storage units to people who'd already filled their garages with belongings they could not part with.

DO NOT click links or open attachments unless you expect them from the sender and know the content is safe. Why do you want to get rid of them? If a recruiter calls, I politely say that I'm not interested at this time. Depending on the context, I may politely explain that assembler programmer and assembly line technician are very different skill sets, and that the skills don't transfer well in either direction. No, I did not make this up, and it isn't a one-time thing. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

They ask me if I'm Steve, and I say yes Then I tell them "Are you calling me with a job that pays $125/HR W2 or $210,000 perm?"
