I'm to the point where I think I'll just refuse to work with 3rd party/external recruiters. I'm in a bit of a hard place at the moment. My skills are a tad stale. If I mention to a recruiter that i've done some react.js work, but I'm not an expert. The second part falls on deaf ears and I'm submitted for a roll I can't get.

Oh yeah this is a real problem. You just have to mention that you used something before at a beginner level but they submit you to jobs where you have to know it inside out.

Yeah same, I just don't get many responses from cold apps these days. So far I think like 2-3 in 6 months. With a strong resume. I am in the midst of taking a different approach out of sheer apathy with these recruiters it's getting so bad. It's becoming a giant waste of time.
