Okay, so, I usually update my resume on job search sites on a regular basis.
A REQUIRED field is a valid phone number.
They also put "best time to call you" next to it.
EVERY single time I put down call EVENINGS ONLY
EVERY single time I get a phone call at 6:45 AM or so (or earlier) the next day.
EVERY single time the person's name is Rajinder, Skipinder, Binder, Sanjeev, Rajiv, Anil or some other Indian name.
EVERY single time it's for a job I would be totally unqualified for.
I'm not bigoted against Indian people, before some politically correct asshole gets it wrong.
But how do I write in Hindi, Urdu, Panjabi and Tamil "READ THIS PROPERLY?"
If I say I am interested in Full-time, perm, and am a software developer in WA looking in the Seattle metro area, why call me and wake up my sleeping infant children to tell me about this super-wicked-important (to you) one month CONTRACT in California? For a DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR? In an operating system in which I have almost no experience?
Causing a family fight before 7 AM over why are these assholes calling us is NOT "the early bird gets the worm and Rajinderbinder gets a promotion!" It's "if you pull that shit again I will slap you so hard your as-yet-unborn great grandchildren will be born with a handprint on their cheeks."

What happens here is, you give your resume out, people shop it around to each other and you get deluged with calls.
Just the ones ringing me at 4:45 AM.
Which is weird, because in my experience they've been top of the class, and more on the ball than the average person here.
