I'm deaf and wear hearing aids, so talking on phones or any situation where I can't effectively lip read is an exercise in frustration. I can hear the other side, but the words just aren't coming through in my brain.

So, a couple sentences describing this is a very easy way for me to filter out recruiters like this, and jobs as well. Especially with working remotely.



I made a big point of saying this over and over during a previous job search and people still ignored what I said and called. They'd even acknowledge that I asked them not to call at the beginning of the call.


That makes it easy to filter them out, though.
