I am unable to post my resume on Dave's because I keep setting off the spam filter. At first I thought it was a bug from using some Korean and symbols like + in the title but even after removing them I still set it off. I did submit a resume before on Dave's but that was over a year ago. Any help? aside from E-Mailing Dave?

encase anyone else has this problem it was because I had some www. & some http:/ in my text field.

Yep, I can confirm that.

I tried to post a YouTube intro video I made, and couldn't post the link.

So I just posted the part after the Youtube.com part, figuring that recruiters would be smart enough to reconstruct the address.

I am actually having the same problem currently. I don't have any URLs in my resume but it was copy/pasted from a word document. I tried saving it without unicode characters (text format) and reposting it but no luck.

Not sure what it is that's triggering the spam filter. Is it really necessary to post my whole work history there, or can I get away with a brief paragraph outlining my relevant credentials? If so I might just go that route because my work history is kind of long.

[Edit] Well I always hate when people solve these problems without explaining the solution, so if anyone else has this problem, I just cut down the content of my resume and rephrased everything without copy/pasting it. Not sure which words were setting off the spam filter but I still got plenty of emails from people wanting to hire me, so there ya go.
