Hey Junior!

   If the spammy recruiters don't send me things that are totally inappropriate by dint of location, permanence, skillset, or pay-rate, not to worry, there are many other idiocies in their bags of tricks.  Another common one to fall back on is the very closely related concept of level:

    (Yes, all the horribly broken HTML, resulting from the horribly broken text, were in the original.  This one commits another major sin I am intending to cover eventually, illegibility.)

       Yup, 28 years of experience sure qualifies me as a "SOFTWARE DEVELOPER - Junior".  After all, it takes a good century or two to become a "SOFTWARE DEVELOPER - Senior", right?  Oh, wait.  No, it doesn't.  In fact, it seems like a mere year or two is all that most companies ask when recruiting a Super-Duper Senior Development Rock-Ninja.  But that is a rant for another day . . . .

    1. This is the part that I have a question about:

      "= img src=3D'http://www.hrteamplus.com/Openmailcount.aspx?"

      I got one of these today, and I'm curious what the "openmailcount.aspx" part does. It looks like it goes to a website, for hrteamplus, and then does something.

      Is there a way to tell what this is, or is it a matter of going to the site and looking at the code?

      1. Sorry for the delay; Blogger isn't notifying me of comments these days. :-<

        Anyway, I would be reluctant to actually go visit any URL contained in spam, be it recruitment or other, because of malware, trackers, etc. This particular one most likely does what it says on the tin, er, in the name: counts the times the email has been opened, by the various victims, er, recipients. It might do additional things like report additional metrics, like your IP address, OS, browser, and anything else it can find out. Innocent uses of that info would include such things as weeding out duplicates. However, it can be used for more nefarious purposes such as correlate with specific recipients to see who's stupid enough to open it so as to send them further spam. (It's one of the reasons I normally read email with images *turned off* so that these beacons won't "phone home" like that.)

    Believe it or not, I really do care what you think. Please share your thoughts with me.
