I've signed up with the standard employment websites, including a couple I haven't heard of before. I think it's just a way to put you in touch with people who will feed off your desperation and try to sell you on-line colleges or resume services or something. Here's what I got today:

I Googled them as a matter of research, and found these complaint sites, so I'm going to add to them. I also decided to see if they would write me back if I emailed them with a response to their original email. Oh, BTW, because some of you report receiving mail from the same person, it appears C. Garner had a demotion because he/she is no longer a HR manager, but an Executive Asst instead. Too bad!
My reply:
Dear C. Garner:
Thank you for the inquiry. I would need some more information on the position, however, before committing to giving you a great deal of my personal information. Could you please:
Tell me the location (state and town, please) of this job.
The nature of the business.
Is selling anything part of the job description?
The qualifications the your company is looking for in a Clerical Assistant.
I do evaluate each and every opportunity given, and I do not want to waste my time nor yours and send in unnecessary applications when I am not interested in or I am unqualified/overqualified for the position.
I am sure you can appreciate my position, and I hope to hear from you soon with regard to the above questions.
Yours truly,
Me
