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.

  1. 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.


  2. Although "manager trainee" at an insurance interest sounds like an exciting and rewarding position, this is far below my advertised skill set.


  3. 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.)


  4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. (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.
I would encourage you to take action against this individual, unless of course you see this continued spamming as "valuable." It certainly does have one specific value: eroding my opinion of Monster and the service it offers.

Please advise as to how to rectify this situation.

Thanks in advance,
Rick
