Input needed You know reading a resume like that gives you such a "warm and fuzzy" feeling about the recruiter it just isn't funny. Couldn't sit down for a week.

Input needed Hi Richard. Actually there're a lot of resumes available over internet which can be reached by simple googling and I don't hope that anyone asks for the resume in order to steal it when he can find it easily over net and even on Linkedin. However I've seen my resume changed by someone where he forgot to replace his email with mine ))) ----- Original Message ----- From: Goulet, Richard [mailto:Richard.Goulet@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 06, 2012 01:15 AM To: Kamran Agayev (ICT/SNO); 'chrisdavid.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' <chrisdavid.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: OT: Just how wary of this should I be? Input needed One "nefarious" use of a respectable person's resume is to erase the personal information & replace it with someone else's. I've seen mine used that way in the past. Person says he worked at the same company I was at for the same time period in the same position & I don't know them from Adam. Bad idea on the recruiters side as we have not used that recruiter since. But then they are busy and lots of people write very bad resume's, so why not capitalize on someone else's successful resume? I mean what's the chance that the person you got it from will be looking at the "borrowed" one. Just remember Murphy's Law.
