Time for public humiliation: If I get one more resume that I have to unsubscribe to I will publish your names

I wrote awhile back about this cursed trend of spamming your resume. I got five of these today and guess what? Not only am I not going to hire you but I am going to start publishing your names as people who are clearly unable to manage their careers so that they have to rely on SPAM tactics to annoy hiring companies.

And guess what morons? I am not the hiring manager for every job at my company. So, the least you can do is research it and spam the right person.

By the way, all of this resume spam still comes from this Business Link International that forces me to unsubscribe to every single person individually.

We don't use foul language here at CNet, but if we did, I would tell you stupid motherfletchers to muck off and die.

Calm down, take a deep breath and realize that while this may be annoying it isn't nearly as bad as what some people deal with. If you're going to get upset, do it over the violence in Darfur, or the soldiers dying in Iraq. I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that some of your anger is a bit excessive and unnecessary.

Oh, and also tell all those soliciters who call right after a VC funding round is announced - that just because we got money does not mean that I will spend it on you! Dialling for dollars in an open source world - or with open source companies just does not work. It goes against our entire business format.

I find swearing in foriegn languages is both a fun way to amuse yourself while running them off thinking they have a wrong number or someone who really is not interested...
