RE: recruiters
I recently had a guy apply to work for me through a recruiter. His resume - via the placement agency - described his 25 years of experience "...as evidensed by these saple prejects...".
He was seeking a full time contract position for $125.00 per hour.
The placement agency was somewhat offended when I suggested that for a quarter million per year, most reasonably competent people might be able to figure out how the spell checker works in MSWORD.

SNORGY.
RE: recruiters
Worse, many contingent recruiters are arrogant enough to 'punch up your resume a little' without your knowledge or consent. The ones who are just slightly less slimy will ask your permission before submitting it, and may even admit to a little editing, but all will be extremely reluctant to reveal exactly how they represent you.
Consider using Word to make a PDF file, and sending _that_ to recruiters.

RE: recruiters
Engineers are supposed to be detailed. When I get a resume or cover letter with words misspelled or poor grammar, it immediately goes in the trash or, as you did, I call the recruiter and tell them that if they can't put enough effort into making sure a candidate they put forward can at least make a reasonable presentation, I don't need either of them.
Last week I got an unsolicited resume from an "engineer" with over 20 years of experience and had "extensive experience in structural engineering". He was looking for a senior level position.
Strike one-unsolicited, no prior contact
Strike two-had my name backwards in the address (Last Name, First Name, Middle Name with no commas or separators)...obviously from a mailing list he purchased or scavenged from the licensing board...that's not an ego thing with me, it just shows he doesn't pay attention to detail
Strike three-misrepresentation...he's not licensed as a P.E.....he's an E.I., looking for a "senior" position.
He's out.

RE: recruiters
As an example many years ago I got called to an interview for a landscaping drafter even though I was a senior piping designer. Strictly because I had the right key words in the recruiters database. I ended up going to the interview anyways and got an offer from another department in the company.
