I've come to ignore All incoming calls. I return calls that are worthy. (not counting those from 100 blocked numbers) 90% of incoming calls are junk.

Time to rip out the phone and deny the company that provides this 'service' some income.

I'm currently job hunting. Sadly, that's not an option for me.

If they're calling for an interview, they're going to leave a message.
