Job titles are not very in depth

Let me share some thought, Job titles show depth of what you did in a job.

First off try English! "share some thought"? Should be "share some thoughts". Ugh, professionalism ain't what it used to be.

Job titles do NOT show more depth - they show less. How can 3 words give you more depth than a paragraph? If I said I was a Configuration Manager would you know if I meant Software Configuration Management or perhaps Puppet/Chef configuration management. Do you even know the difference - probably not.

If I listed myself as Build Release Engineer would you know if I used Jenkins? Compiled Java code? Was on Linux machines or Windows? Done C# or C++ and if C++ is that on Windows or Linux? What about Mac? You see the later statements contain much more detail, therefore, by definition, depth than just "Build Release Engineer".

There is a big difference between an analyst and a developer, for example. They may have used the same tools like SQL, XML, etc, but had a completely different function and a different skill level based upon the title.

And they may have done both! Not sure of the analyst title - that's a vague term (a person who conducts analysis - of what exactly?) however I've used SQL in an administrative/DB admin type role as well as a developer role. But you'd never determine that if all you had to go on was the stupid title of "Systems admin".

Are you really accusing me of not doing my job?

Yes, most definitely! One merely just google "what are the functions of a technical recruiter" to hit this lovely gem - https://resources.workable.com/technical-recruiter-job-description:

Job brief

We are looking for a Technical Recruiter to join our HR department and help us grow our IT teams.

Technical Recruiter responsibilities include sourcing, screening and providing a shortlist of qualified candidates for various technical roles. You will also network online and offline with potential candidates to promote our employer brand, reduce our time-to-hire and ensure we attract the best professionals.

You see it's right in the description - screening and qualifying candidates (how else would you provide a shortlist of qualified candidates if you don't qualify them!?!)

I gave you the benefit of the doubt by giving you a chance to sell yourself to me.

Again, it's not my job to "sell" myself to you - it's YOUR job to sell me to the candidate. You mean you don't know that?!?

I understand your frustration, the reason you are getting hit by so many recruiters and them telling you that you are not a fit is because your resume isn't specific enough. I am sorry…

Sorry but

FUCKING BULLSHIT!

Had you taking the 3.2 nanoseconds to visit my resume at https://defaria.com/resume you should notice that there's a fucking blinking, red and bolded banner there saying:

Download an MS Word copy!

I mean shit I had to write fucking JavaScript code to get the blinking to work. One might think that something like that might tip-off to these crackerjack recruiters that they could get a Word copy by clicking that link. But nooooooo 80% of them never even notice.
But that's not all! Recruiters just about always put in there "send me a copy of your updated resume" when I have the following right there as plain as day:
I also have the following there:

Important Note: While I am AWS certified, I currently do not have actual on the job experience with AWS. Training for obtaining an AWS Certificate does require hands on with various AWS services as listed above in order to properly prepare for the test. I have been working in the computer field all my life and specialize in coming up to speed with new technologies very quickly and feel confident that I can learn any AWS services in use at your company in a short period of time. Please take this into account while evaluating my skills. Thanks.

So that I'm totally clear about my AWS experience (as most employers will not consider people unless they have AWS experience on the job.
You may wish to say my resume isn't specific enough but the above clearly shows that recruiters are not reading my resume at all! And you're a classic example of that, even after being asked to read my resume you continue to refuse to do so. You're a prime example of a recruiter I could never work with.

BTW the recruiter here is Susan Rosen <SRosen@TeamGRN.com> (480) 454-6287

I believe one should give credit where credit is due but also blame where blame is due so I listed the contact info here so you might be able to avoid this unprofessional and incompetent recruiter.
