I had a message recently:
Thankyou for your recent email to the Jonathan Wren automatic resume registration email address.

for their attention. If you were updating your resume or availability, this

Guess what? I was registered with this agency about 4 years ago when I was very desperate for being unemployed. As Nesblandians tend to be, regardless of their qualifications or experience.
The agency never found me a job, never bothered to contact me not even once and if it wasn't for this e-mail about a week ago, I would have forgotten completely they even existed.
I answered them though, because
they deservedan answer:
Dear Agency,
Thank you for waking up and remembering me after all this time,(4 years roughly) although it wasn't I the person who contacted you.
Perhaps it was somebody else with another foreign-funny-sounding-name-similar-to-mine, or about as desperate as I used to be when I tried to get your "help"; another person that you are going to ignore deliberately for 3-4 years, I presume.
As for me, do not bother anymore, I found myself a job long ago, without your "precious-highly-specialized" help. Please update your data base, will you? Shouldn't be that much trouble to try to clean it up twice every decade, don't you think?
Keep up the good work, you fabulous people, you!
And then I had a satisfaction that I did not keep quiet and just ignored their idiotic, out of date e-mail.
The Bastards!
