<p>Gah.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not one of the lot are qualified for the job posting.  It is for an SAP integration specialist, and I got one clown internal to the company who is basically in a manual labour job sending me his resume.  Nothing wrong with that, but he lists his "Selling Points For The Job" (that was his heading, not mine) as "Muscle."</p>

<p>Calgon, take me away.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Better yet, Mr. Glenfiddich, take me away.</p>

They are. At least in my field, here, with the amount of experience I have. I'm waaaaaay over qualified for 90% of the jobs here, and because of an issue with job titles, I'm considered under qualified for the others. <img alt="huh.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/huh.gif"></p>

<p>Art/Creative Director. I've directed teams of designers on year long projects, but since it wasn't my <em>official</em> title, the experience doesn't count. <img alt="roll_eyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif"></p>

No. I don't want to have to look for clients all the time and have to do all the design work.</p>
