It’s frustrating because it’s almost always a shotgun approach, but occasionally you get something that strays from the path and, delightfully, <em>it stands out</em>. It’s refreshing to have someone who has actually taken the time to determine your skill set, technology background, and how you spend your free time with respect to software. You feel like they at least have an <em>inkling</em> of who you are. On the other hand, it’s irritating to be bombarded by contract-to-hire offers which aren’t even <em>remotely</em> tailored to you. What’s worse is when it’s ten different emails from ten different people working for the same recruiting agency.</p>
