Hi Michael,
I worked for STC in the '80s. One day, I get a call from someone looking
to buy garbage bags.
Regards,
David

Over a decade ago, I put a resume on Linkedin calling myself as a 'z/OS storage
manager'. I received requests to apply for jobs managing storage units rented

It is not uncommon for me to get emails from offshore recruiters for
non-IT jobs in my home state. It seems the match criteria that is
being used is based on state of residence instead of job experience.
That's marginally less imbecile than the matching process used by the Belgistani jobcentres, who seem to
match first on "developer", yes, just "developer" and then on language, like, yes not
kidding, Dutch or French, which means that I'm invariably "one of the 125 best matched
candidates"...
Robert.
