I get between 8 and 15 emails from recruiters most days. They found my resume at any of a half dozen sites. It is rare for one of these emails to be even a remote match for my skills.

No, no one read it. They used some sort of keyword search and then sent out spam to the result list.

BUT, the phone calls are just as bad. Is it really that much trouble to look at the resume you got the phone number from? Java isn't on my resume FOR A REASON. (Or .net, or Wyoming, or something)!
