*SPREADING THE WORD*

I got a call from a chipper lady saying they'd received my resume and were interested in an interview. She was talking so fast, I couldn't make out what company she was calling for (I can't keep track of all of the places I applied to (xwx;)). But I pretended to understand to give a good impression. Afterwards I looked up the phone number to see where it was that called.

....................................I'd never heard of it.

Needless to say I called back to cancel that appointment. Not that I shouldn't wouldn't jump at any chance. Just... I don't feel comfortable... I asked the chipper lady where she got my resume. Answer: Yahoo Hot Jobs.

Summary points:

She said they had received my resume, meaning it was sent to them

I didn't send it

I do search Yahoo job listings

Possibilities:
・Someone sent my resume (like a agency, or somewhere the more candidates they introduce the better)
・Some job I'd applied for turned out to be somewhere else
・When I applied for a job it send out multiple addresses

Now, I'm not saying anything for sure. But with so many scams, spam, and crap on job seaching market, thought I might get this out in case it catches anybody else.

your friendly neighbor, public service message, technology go boom, amidst job market
