That is a fail of epic proportions.

The best one I've gotten was a position that wanted 10 years of ASP.NET MVC experience. This was in 2016 if I remember correctly. ASP.NET MVC released in 2009.
I've also gotten a lot of offers for HR positions. I neither have a degree in an HR-related field nor have worked in HR before

Odd... the only pings I've receive (twice a year, almost like clockwork) are from Google (they're expanding in Toronto) and FB (AFAIK, they're not based in Toronto). I also don't have my profile flagged as open to new opportunities.

They don't care about that. I always have my profile set to not looking for a new role (or what ever they call it) as I prefer to call a recruiter if I want a new job. But they still have been sending me, we have a role that suits your profile.

Interesting. The pings I receive from Google are from a real human (the same person I've been contacted by for a few years). FB seems to have a higher turnover of recruiters, because the person changes every 18 months or so. In both cases, the contacts have been unsolicited, although the Google ping is a result of a referral by a friend. But I don't know anyone at FB.

I once saw a position advertised where they wanted (this is many years ago so I'm not sure I remember the exact wording) ... must have attended Microsoft Foundation Classes ...

I've still got the reference books around here somewhere, if you like to study up a bit.
It's multiple large volumes, and there's another book that details lower level functions that all start with "z" which I never figured out what to do with. I have no idea where I put this treasure, but I don't recall tossing any of it where it belongs...

They made their intentions perfectly clear: They're looking for a senior developer who is willing (stupid enough) to work for a junior's pay. Makes sense!
|
|
|
|
|
Do they ever become Senior?
And what's the definition of senior in that case?
|
|
|
|
|
"Senior" as in "senile"?

From my student days (long ago) there were two that became classics:
On job ad requiring familiarity with Cobolt.
Another one where experience with system stimulation was required.
This was in the early 1980s.

I have one for you, not necessarily LinkedIn but sh*tty recruiter related, none the less.
This recruiter that was unable to place me about 5 years ago, sends me emails every so often, asking me if I know of any developers looking for work, but never actually asks me if I would be interested in the position; only if I know someone else that would be.

It doesn't really matter because I have a very good gig right now making great money. Recruiter's loss, really.

I got a voicemail yesterday with the transcription sent to me, looking for a "c hash dot net" developer... So I actually listened to the message, and the headless hunter actually did say "c hash"

I definitely found that to be true during my last job search. After hundreds of useless e-mails through LI, I ended up finding one through Craig's List. It was an advert posted by a recruiter but she was quite competent. Apparently the company has used her extensively and I can see why.
FWIW, she is based in the Portland, OR area and works nation-wide. If anyone wants her name and info then contact me and I will pass it along.

I keep getting emails for Mainframe OPERATOR jobs that last 2-3 months and are on the opposite side of the country. I was a COBOL/IDMS developer from 1983-1995.
