Three and a half years ago, I got a call like this from a recruiter. I was
very polite with him, and said, "When you can find something closer to my
skills and salary requirements, let me know."
A month later he called back.
I haven't had to look for a job since :)
Diane Evans, who is extremely happy in her resulting job.
