Korean Job Discussion Forums

Greg/Say-to-Say is driving me insane with these constant spams about jobs I would never consider taking (even if I was still in Korea). They are personalized emails with my name after Dear, so I also sent back a personalized email asking to be removed from the list. No dice.

Besides "Greg" I also have Park English sending many emails. I click the "remove from mailing list" and no dice either.

There are others that spam regularly to, and I have no clue where they got my details until I Googled myself and discover I am currenly listed as looking for work on some dime a dozen job site that never gained popularity.

I dislike spam enough as it is without seeing one that says "Airport pickup guaranteed!" on it. That one always makes me laugh, along with "free airfare!" and "beautiful sea-side city of Pohung" etc. All in all I am tired of it, and actually found a way to get revenge. Spam the spammers! Drop their email in a few opportune places and they'll be getting nailed with erectile increase in no time.

I get the greg's spam as well. Good thinking about the entering his email in all the porn sites.

When I was looking for a job, I had LOTS of e-mails from recruiters offering me really horrid jobs. I simply thanked each one for his/her time and told them I'd already found what I was looking for and wished them luck in their search for a new teacher. They never bothered me again. One actually wrote back to thank me for turning him down nicely, which really surprised me. But, yeah, I don't get recruiter spam. Now, if the penis people would just stop e-mailing and all those Nigerians, then I'd be really happy.

During my first 2 months here, I had a ton of jobs emailed to me. Some them I regretted that they didn't come sooner, becuase they offered more. It stops shortly after you tell them that you have a job and thank them for their time and effort.
