content: I keep getting offers of PCB layout jobs in Belgium.I even had one caller sound really quite surprised and offended when I told him no, I'm not in Belgium, and no, I'm not interested in flying out there every week and coming back home for weekends. Especially not for a "fantastic" opportunity to close down my own business, go back to having a boss, and take a major pay cut

content: Quote from: tautech on January 24, 2017, 12:37:31 pmMy resume seems to have slowly slipped out of "the system"Mostly these days I get calls from headhunters asking if I know of anyone, or to explain to them what sort of candidate would best fill some tech role (i.e. doing their job for them)

content: Did "Eve" include her personal contact info ?Corporate people usually do when sending such emails to reduce friction.If she didn't, that would be another red light for meAnd yes the headers are a good way to check email origin

content: Maybe some HR person got their countries mixed up. Australia... Japan, similar right?I get offers through Linkedin sometimes for IT jobs and have to laugh. Most IT jobs here are near or even at minimum wage. Yeah I'm not leaving my 30/hour NOC gig for an IT job where I need to be the one guy managing the entire infrastructure for 12/hour.
