But I know a while back I was looking specifically for remote Flex projects and had trouble finding some. Now they run across my desk a few times a week at least. So I figured tblurb.com was perfect to post them up for other Flexers who may not have heard of them (they were neglected in the recruiter spam - ha!). Also, this way allows devs to pick and choose, can't stop the countless emails, but at least there's an option. I do get a lot of people asking if PXL has work too, so I figured let me post what I can. Maybe I'll turn it into a side biz, the recruiters can buy me lunch for helping them out :P ha!

You could have had the keyword 'flexible' in your resume, you come up in the search and they email you even though you said you were a 'flexible garbage hauler'. Nine out of ten times the recruiter is totally clueless about what the requirements actually mean, as well (e.g., 'OK, you've got ten years of flex development experience...have you any experience with MXML?') Nice thought though, but these recruiters are working so hard to blanket the requests to everyone on the moon, I doubt you need to take your precious time to try to re-post them. :-) We all seem to get the same calls – these recruiters do keyword searches on Dice, Monster, etc., and then bulk-spam everyone and anyone who comes up on the search.
