I hear ya man.

I worked in the datacenter networking industry for 20 years and changed careers. Some of that time could be called "tech support". Then I decided I wanted to do something new so I went into web development.

So what do I get for spam?:

- Overnight desktop support roles ... some that talk about windows 98 (what the hell...).

- Tons of Java inquiries... I don't know Java but JavaScript is on my resume.

- Tons of semi related web dev roles but looking for Sr. people with 10 years experience and I've got all of 1 year experience.

All total wastes of my time. And that's near 100% of my unsolicited contacts.

I get lots of messages from recruiters, but they're either in a neighboring state, or in a part of my state that I live nowhere near.
