I speculate it's what happened to all the H1-B's when they were no longer "needed," and their relatives sponsored by them. But even breathing such a thought will upset half the Indian subcontinent, so don't tell anybody. Not only can they not talk, from what I've been getting, they can't read either. Probably some are self-styled entrepreneurs trying to set up body shops just like they did in Bangalore.

I stepped in it in another forum:
http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2006/02/bit-of-rant.html Glad to see it isn't just me that has noticed it. Have you gotten any that have the fake senate anti-spam bill in the sig? See http://www.spamfaq.net/terminology.shtml#murk Un-freaking-believable.

Then again, very few headhunters of any stripe have ever been any good for me. The ones that have get my repeat business - though that never seems to work, either. I do miss the good old days when _they_ would make pretty resumes. This being treated like a soup can on a shelf bites. I don't believe I have ever gotten any work after filling out proprietary format resumes. Anyone else have?
