I’m very mean to LinkedIn recruiters. I always let them pitch the job, but I always say “please review my job experience first, I don’t appreciate my time wasted”.
And usually my response is something like “What the hell made you think that pitching this IT Technician job to someone with the current job title of Senior Project Manager was a good idea? When I asked you to read through my job experience, I guess I made the mistake of thinking you could read.”
Oh man, that would have sounded so nice when I was still working in the industry.
I could just picture being stuck on site being berated in the middle of the night since some far away NOC thought deleting the switch configuration files was a good idea (again) and getting the offer to be a goat herder.
“Wait your telling me no human contact at all? Comes with a hut? Many KMs from the nearest technology?”

If they actually knew the industry, they’d try to pitch you a job as goat herder.
