So, I recently dusted off my resume and added a few more details, updated my skills, and added my certifications. I added it to a few job boards and set some filters to reflect my preferences, then waited for notifications.

Is it me or is there something out there that disregards the preferences and just starts throwing curve balls? An example - I worked in claims and I'm getting notices saying that I would make a great sales representative.

Ummm - what?!
