That's something of a fuzzy term. What do they do exactly? Are they in New York City?

Yesthey are in NYC. They are an intergration company. They specialize in backend web development. It is a young environment using cutting edge technology. Is this something that would be of interest to you?

So far nothing you've said distinguishes them from any other company doing backend web development. Do they work exclusively with financial clients? Can you tell me anything more than this at all? If not, then I'm probably not interested.

Hey Bill,
My client has been in business for 20years! They are an outstanding company working with many different types of clients, some of which happen to be financial and insurance. This opportunity is for someone who is a real go getter, someone who has strong technical skills and management skills. If this sounds like you, then please send me your resume so I can set up an interview. If your not interested, I wish you luck in your search
Thank you,
Ed O'Reilly

Well, I sent you my resume a few emails back, if you didn't notice. But since I've expressed a negative interest in finance, why aren't you telling me what sort of other clients these folks have? You toss around buzzwords like they should magically pique my interest, and you not only won't define "integration" for me, but you don't even know how to spell it. (Clue: there's only one R.) I think I'll take a pass on this opportunity.

Hey Bill,
I have sent you all the information I possibly can on this position. I am sorry to see that you are so displeased with your job that your frustration carries over to attacking people who are trying to help you. I hope you find what your looking for, maybe it will bring some sort of peace to your life and you will not feel the need to be be such an asshole! I hope you make a lot of money in your next move, because anyone who says money doesn't buy happiness doesn't fucking have any, they say money is the root of all evil, well look at the fucking smile on my face!!!! And yes my spelling may be slightly off, however my counting is pretty good, and the number you put at the bottom of you resume that you are looking for the $[deleted]K, I made that same number last year, however I a made that in the month of October!!! Keep winning those spelling bee's hotshot, and I'll keep on making your salary every month of the year!
Sincerely Yours, (Oh did I spell that right)?

Gee, did I touch a nerve? If you're through waving your dick around, consider that I told you *right up front* what I was and wasn't interested in, but you didn't change the approach you took with me one bit. That tells me that you're more interested in plastering a hole with the nearest warm body than in finding me a job that's right for me. Apparently your mindless pursuit of money has made you just like every other annoying recruiter in the world -- eager to line your pockets and heedless of your candidates' needs. And what I need certainly does not include the crumbs falling from your pockets.
