The Forgotten Resume

Yesterday I got a suprising phone call from a recruiter. As she introduced herself she began pitching me a job I "would be perect for".

I haven't been in the job market in quite a while. 6 years to be exact. So her call was very surprising based on the 6 year old resume profile she found on me on a site called Data Frenzy. I politely explained that I work for myself now and she asked if I would pass the job lead on to anyone I could recommend.

She called me despite my resume showing that my resume was last updated in the year 2000. Was this a desperate attempt at sourcinga potential candidate? Or was she just oblivious to the resume details?

I managed to login to the Data Frenzy site to try and delete my resume. But when I got in there was NO way to delete my profile. All I could do was remove the resume details and change my personal info to some "gobbledyguck" text. Hmmm, I wonder how many other forgotten resumes there are out there?

My guess is a lot.
