Dear Recruiters
Dear Recruiters,
If you’re going to (a) scrape my CV page from my website, then (b) spam me, unsolicited, offering to represent me for jobs I don’t want in places I don’t live, in explicit contravention of the terms of use [*] of that document – here’s a tip.
Don’t compound the problem by asking me to resend the document in bloody Microsoft Word format. FFS.
([*]: Those terms were, of course, added in an attempt to stem the tide of recruiter spam. Thanks to Colm MacCarthaigh for the idea…)

Good idea about the T+C’s on the CV – I hadn’t come across this particular form of misuse, and I thought I had seen them all :-)
