If you do this, automate it. I have one email address just for recruiters. I had a script run and look though my gmail inbox looking for keywords, ask the salary/rate up front form recruiters. Email me if you want the code. It is in Java.

Thanks - this would convert what is now a huge waste of time into a learning experience.

Have you considered 1) taking a vacation and doing the grind while on it, 2) buying yourself a pen and a notebook and writing down what you tend to forget?

Oh, you'll never get a job that way. Lol. Recruiters on linkedin who shoot out mass DMs are the bottom of the barrel.
