Thanks for the advice. Recruiters are a specific pain point. When looking for a bank job, they help a lot because they push candidates ahead and because bank jobs are all alike. During the current job hunt, I encountered recruiters that were trying to place me as an IT person at Heathrow Airport. I don't apply to positions advertised by recruiters any more — descriptions are always misleading and they care very little about what you actually looking for. Do you think it's a wrong thing to do?
