He even addressed that in his voice mail, but "seeing as how I listed Cleveland, Ohio in past experience..." blah-blah-blah. Seriously? I am not looking for a full-time job -- there were two contract/freelance positions (one on Monster, the other on CareerBuilder) that required me to re-open my account on those spammy sites. Within an hour of activating my resume, the shitbags came out from nowhere. <br /><br />I got some serious satisfaction by responding (quite curtly) to the dude who emailed me about the Cleveland job, requesting that he actually READ resumes and summaries of potential applicants prior to contacting them. <br /><br />OFFICIALLY ANNOYED!Melnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-68175790615394839232010-11-03T10:09:07.832-04:002010-11-03T10:09:07.832-04:00True the economy is still pretty shitty.

I've gotten quite a number of such calls since I've been unemployed. The worst are when it's an NYC area code and I get all excited. But, usually I hang up the phone wondering if they've even really looked at my resume. I get the whole economy is bad thing, but that doesn't excuse a lack of research.
