While that may be true, this is still likely an automated response built by a script that found some keywords on your profile. I still get the occasional proposition for RPG work, and I haven't touched an AS/400 in over a 20 years which my profile reflects. I haven't even touched my profile in years. But the script doesn't care about that. That's for the HR rep to filter out later if you respond.

Why you are no doubt correct; as someone who's had to support a BarTender based automated print system in a manufacturing company, this skillet need doesn't surprise me at all and is part of why the software gave me a drinking problem.

So you’re saying it would help to have both a bartender, and a bartender specialist on the team. Seems like we might be doing the bot a disservice here

Another example of corporate cost cutting, making the employees serve their own drinks.

I'm still getting weekly emails (and who knows how many linked in messages) trying to recruit me over a profile I haven't updated in a decade...aka 2 years after I entered the industry

One of these days, I'm going to set up my AI assistant to respond. Who knows, with an even playing field maybe some of them will be worthwhile
