Effective Use of Time

Today I receive an email from HR notifying me that a job that "better matches my skillsets" has been posted and I'm encouraged to apply.

Don't get excited yet.

I go, dutifully following the link, only to discover the job description is for a freaking software engineer. Did I ever say I was interested in programming? Or back-end architecture? Er, no. But the mere use of the word "architect" in my resume bedazzled a lowly human resources clone. Read people, read!

After jumping through hoops, spell checking like a fiend and pontificating on the wonders associated with being a Product Manager I submitted a profile to the aforementioned potential employer. Guess the two hours I spent over the weekend were a complete waste. Grrr.
