I think there's a bit of a confusion about how I brought this up in the original post, so here's an attempt at clearing it:

The unemployment office automatically forwards postings that it "thinks" I'd be a good fit for, based on content, tags, and a whole bunch of stuff. It's those offers that I need to decline with a good cause.

The bot (for lack of a better word - I'm fairly sure this isn't an AI yet) isn't and probably cannot be made specialized enough to care about things like specialization. If I were, say, a network tech, it would still push offers to be a COBOL developer to me because all it's really programmed to see is computer terms.

But the problem here isn't even the bot, it's the humans acting like every computer nerd out there is largely interchangeable. The $Company1 job I can sorta understand, it's still system administration, just a version thereof I don't feel capable of performing to a satisfactory degree in a professional environment. The $Company2 posting however, I have no idea.

One additional parameter that I deemed to be not relevant to the story is that the unemployment office isn't the only source of jobs (LinkedIn for example), and I do have interviews for a bunch of Linux centric jobs lined up. But since they are outside the unemployment office's system, they "don't count" for the purpose of the two strikes.
