A Pet Peeve From Recruiters

It looks like the job market’s about to pick up. I’m getting gobs of messages from recruiters. (Most of them are temp agencies, but I still take as a good sign). But I’m getting lots of them like this one:

Am I interested? Well, should I be? There is NOTHING in this description that’s useful. NOTHING! Who? What? When? Where? Salary? I have nothing here that makes me think I should give my time to this, nor my data. Is it with a company I want to work with? Is the salary something I can work with? Is it an urgent temp position that can’t wait for 2 weeks notice?

Right now, I am open to an amazing opportunity, whether that’s pay-wise, work-wise, organization-wise. I have a job (properly, I have two) that I love and am not eager to change. I am not even close to desperate. You’ll need to do better than this.
