Why do recruiters do this?
I recently got laid off from my accounting job. I have years of experience as a staff accountant. I have done the usual routine of updating my resume, applying, making my resume visible to recruiters. I am getting frustrated with the inquiries I have been receiving - jobs for which I am way over qualified for - accounts payable, accounting clerk. Did they even read my resume? Or are they just taking a throw-spaghetti-at-the wall and see what sticks approach? I am ready to switch my profile to private so I don't get these inquiries anymore.

I got a job offer from a large financial institution!
Part of me wants to celebrate and jump up and down, and then the other part of me is cautiously optimistic. The offer is contingent upon a successful background check. I have a misdemeanor back in 2009 when I was young and stupid. This misdemeanor has nothing to do with banking, theft,…

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

I’ve had similar things happen in the past.
It might be a bot or computer program that is very “dumb “.: ie it sees “accounting” in the job title and automatically sends a solicitation!

I have had at least 3 different recruiters from 3 different agencies reach out to me about the same position. Plus the company itself. While the job title is the same as what I have (HRM), my experience is entirely different.
I have had multiple recruiters reach out to me...sometimes as much as 3x a week...for plant HR jobs. I am not plant HR. I have zero union experience. Nowhere in my resume/LinkedIn profile to I suggest otherwise (nearly all of these positions required union experience).
I have had multiple recruiters reach out to me for jobs that are not fully remote, but are indeed several states from my current location. Typically they find me on LinkedIn. My profile indicates I am not open to relo. Further...these are typically also plant HRM positions.
All that to say, I feel your pain and have no suggestions for you.
