Default Job Hunting, The Spam Method

No, not spamming out your resume. Everyone does that in today's online job search market.

(Sidebar: Our site is closing in June so everyone here is looking for work and we all know it.)

A colleague of mine had his web-mail account infiltrated by a spamming program and just sent Viagra e-mails to everyone he's e-mailed with and interviewed with during the past 4 months.

It's terrible, but I can't stop laughing...

A woman at work here had it happen too with her hotmail. Kinda funny when you think about it and I'm sure people understand.

It doesn't say much about your computer/Internet chops when your spambot computer Emails everyone you've interviewed with.

I hope he instead put emphasis on his people skills. He can demonstrate them well now...

How about not clicking on suspicious links or attachments?
