If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It looks like I have been living in a bubble. For the last ten years I have been working at a company and not been exposed to the toxicity of the job market. A couple of weeks ago was bored and decided to update my resume on Monster.
What followed was a job spam from companies, which without exception were small offices in Canada with huge development operations in India, one of them contacted me directly from California.
My faith in the future of our industry is disappearing.

Well California is basically Canadia with sunshine and fewer moose, right?
You're lucky you get mostly the same country - I don't!

I deleted my linkedin account because I was getting too many unsolicited job specs.
The logic:
I don't need a constant barrage of speculative e-mail from "recruitors (sic) for recruitment firms and for actual companies". If I need work, I will tell them.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Jeeze, you've really fallen for the hype.
These people want to make money out of you, that's all. Never think that they have any other motive.
Buy a big bag of salt, and use it with liberal pinches.

I have absolutely no need to "network" with strangers.

I don't think it should. But you should question your faith in Monster (and almost every other job board).
FWIW, the only way I've found a job in my 30 year career is through word of mouth and a trusted set of 3 headhunters. I've yet to find a job I haven't loved. I admit I may be in the minority.

I don't know, the last time when I looked for a job it was ten years ago, I got a call from Marc Zuckerberg to work in facebook, he was still in Toronto at that time I guess.
This time it's all indian recruiters for outsourcing companies, not a good change IMHO. I guess I will just stop updating my resume.
