This morning I was waiting around the house for the delivery guy (9am - 11am window) and I figgured I would update my resume. No - I'm not looking for a job, but I'm still getting calls from recruters and their junk in my inbox - which needs to stop. Well that and it was bugging me to think that I still has Nexa as a "current" position when I have moved on to a more appropriate position.
If you look at my resume page, you'll see bold letters at the top that read "I'm off the market"
If you look at the word doc, I changed the listed email to my gmail account and added the BOLD TEXT WITH THE BRIGHT YELLOW BACKGROUND
"Availability OFF THE MARKET AND UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME this resume is here for historical purposes"
And then TWO (2) hours later, I get this jem of humor in my gmail inbox ;-)
Jason,
I assume you are currently happy at employer x as your online resume indicates I won't be a pest. I am working on an assignment in the LA area for a senior online games coder for a great developer working on an original next gen title.
If your situation changes for any reason and you want to know your options please consider dropping me a line :)

THAT WAS TWO HOURS LATER?! WTF.
I'm honored that my skills are apparently so valuable - but let me be clear: Unless you can offer me 200K/yr to sit around an pick my nose - with a 500K restriction free signing bonus - I AM NOT INTERESTED.
I just want to know: How the frack did this guy find my resume that quickly? Is Google that powerfull or do they have other tools?
And no - I do not want to work on those types of applications at this time. ;-)
