While in the midst of a job search, I registered for one site, careeralerter, to see a post. What resulted was a rash of spam emails from a number of job listing sites that feature outdated listings.
To top it off, the phone number on my resume was given to a firm calling itself EEducation or ETraining, and I now regular sales calls asking me if I plan to further my education, and, "if you were to find a job in the next month! you'll you consider continuing your education?"
They refuse to tell me how to stop the calls and they refuse to honor my request to no longer be called. When questioned about this, the caller hangs up on you.
They have called me also. I'll never register for another job hunt site again. The emails and phone calls are really annoying. I guess when you register for one job hunt site they sell you info to all of the others.
