Social SPAM Engineering

The jobsearch spammers, a small yet oddly insistent spammer subset (resumerabbit my ass), are coming up with some clever ploys. I got this today.

Subject: Thanks for Submitting your resume

Thanks for submitting your resume; unfortunately I don't have any positions

that currently match your background. I have been getting a lot of resumes

submitted that I don't have positions for so I have done some research

on alternative resources that might help you in your job search. Don't

worry if you don't want to receive any more recommendations this is a 1

time only deal unless you submit your resume again. Here is the current

site that I have heard people getting good results from, you should check

it out, free links to recruiters and Job Boards and other job seeker resources.

www.simpleResumePost.com plus they can post your resume to 100 Job Boards

which will definitely help you in your job search.

Good luck, I will hang on to your resume in case I get any open positions

that match your skills. The market looks like it is starting to pick up

a little so check back with me in a couple of months.
