Weird. I recently posted a resume and got nothing of the sort, although after writing about how I'm looking for an afternoon shift job in Seoul, I got lots of "We think this kindergarten position in Mokpo will be perfect for you!" and a whole ton of spam from Epoch trying to send me to China.

A few decent positions have turned up, though, so... *crosses fingers*

I specified "no recruiters (because you're scum-sucking slime)" and got dozens of recruiters offering jobs. It's so Freudian.

They probably used a keyword search.
