Careerbuilder Spam

At the point when I started considering leaving my previous employer the first thing I did was setup accounts on Dice.com, enable my Monster.com account, and then setup a Careerbuilder account. Careerbuilder has been the worst mistake I could have made. I get so many job requests from affiliates for positions in nearly every state in the US except the one I live in, and fluff job requests like being a secret shopper or insurance plan sales person with potential to make $150k per year. It’s literally job spam. I do not live in New York, Texas, Indiana, California, or Florida but for some reason people from Careerbuilder think I’d be interested in the positions. I get phone calls from people I can hardly understand about positions in sales for the same jobs I’m spammed with. I don’t think anyone coming from Careerbuilder has actually read my resume, and the ones who have didn’t look at my current location and willingness to travel percentage. Just a friendly note about one persons experience using Careerbuilder. Your results may vary, doubt it though.
