Monster spammer err... admirer continues his ill-fated pursuit for my hard-to-gain affections
To Whom It May Concern:I have received this message from Monster no less than 10 times. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Is this the value of listing my resume with Monster?
I had expected more than additional spam in my inbox. Perhaps, that was my mistake.
Some of the most frustrating things about this spam? Glad you asked.
- First and foremost (that's why there's a "1" in front of this one), I'm a little confused as to why I spent hours filling out a profile if I am to be continually subjected to spammy requests that ignore the details I took the time to provide.
- Although "manager trainee" at an insurance interest sounds like an exciting and rewarding position, this is far below my advertised skill set.
- Even if I were interested in becoming a manager trainee, it would likely be a manager trainee for a marketing position, given that my resume on Monster clearly lists more than 10 years of experience in marketing. (I know some folks have a hard time separating marketing and sales, and for them, I have a special place in my heart. It's the place where hate and evil thoughts reside.)
- I am fairly confident that--even though [SPAMMER] is the largest subsidiary of [SPAMMER]--the pay scale for manager trainee is likely a smidgen lower than what I've specified as my minimum salary requirements.
- A wholly owned subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company is just a tad larger than what I've specified as my desired company size of less than 100 employees.
- (NOTE: You may want to send this one on to the folks in product development with the subject line "Feature Request.") There is no clear way to prevent the [SPAMMER] from continually sending me these emails.
Please advise as to how to rectify this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
