starting to get recruiter emails for anything with the word "engineer" in the job title apparently.
I am not an engineer.
definitely not a food processing plant equipment engineer.
but if you are a food processing plant equipment engineer, there's a position open in seattle apparently. hmu if you want the recruiter's contact info I guess.
@djsundog In Canada "engineer" is something pretty specific...like equivalent to the "chartered engineer" designation in the UK...so you never see actual job titles like "customer service engineer" and whatnot. But it does get used as a keyword and in job titles for foreign listings.
The I've had the opposite issue where I actually AM qualified to do engineering on food processing equipment, but get recruiters sending me leads on jobs like "SharePoint engineer" that are irrelevant to me.
@msh @djsundog Interesting take, I've had quite the opposite experience in Canada, lots of job for "Software Engineer", "Full Stack Java Engineer", "Site Reliability Engineer".
I've heard a lot of actual engineers complain about it, and they've warned of the ramifications, but I've never seen anything come of it. 
@adasauce it might depend on the province as well. Those kind of job titles are seldom used in Alberta in any official capacity at least, but APEGA is relatively vigorous in its enforcement of regulations.
It's not like I don't see such job titles, but they tend to be listed by American employers and sometimes other provinces like BC and Ontario. Also sometimes the job listing refers to "engineering" but the official job title does not use the word.
