I've already got jobs for software developers delivered to my inbox from the copious amount of recruiters emailing me... So incredibly annoying! I swear, they just spam every potential candidate for every job. The WORST!

Good for you. Forward some to me. I get three in a good month. Recruiters seem to forget Dallas exists.

  Haven't experienced that at all in Dallas. What skill set?
  - vonmoltke 12y ago
    Power electronics (troubleshooting and support, but no design), systems engineering[1], real-time embedded software (radar signal processor, so "big" embedded), and NLP. My resume is linked through my website in my profile here. [1] This kind: http://www.incose.org/practice/fellowsconsensus.aspx http://www.incose.org/practice/fellowsconsensus.aspx

      That's probably the reason. Those are all rather niche markets. Stick "ASP.NET MVC" in your resume or on your LinkedIn and you'll get swamped.

      This is a good skill set for San Jose or Austin, not so great for Dallas unless you want to work for one or two of the local telecom companies that are still investing in engineering here.

        I'm not limiting myself to Dallas. My original comment was more about the propensity of recruiters to not look outside the local area of the job they are trying to fill. If you aren't already in the area the recruiters are not beating your door down.

One day you may reflect on this and realize this was a good problem to have.

  Yeah, like when artificial intelligences enslave us all.

How many of those are CyberCoders? I've heard that their software is setup so that every time a recruiter there does a search, it e-mails every single matching candidate in their database. A single search results in roughly 5000 e-mails. As a result, they dwarf the e-mail volume of every other recruiter out there.
