Frustrating Indeed

I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but just wanted to rant a bit. I've been on Indeed for a few weeks, tired of my current place and looking for new opportunities. Since I am working have been more selective in what I'm looking for. However ever since I updated my resume, I've kept getting messages from companies.

It's not a big deal really, just disheartening.

Edit: Yeah, most of them are junk that I don't even bother with. What made me post was I found a job listing that seemed to fit exactly what I was looking for. So applied. After two weeks nothing, no views. Figured oh well.
