Careerbuilder seems to result in nothing but SPAM for me--from the idiots trolling for people to sign up with their (for-pay) placement services to the dorks wanting me to become a "financial advisor" (read "sales dweeb"), I can't remember *any* useful lead coming from them.

I changed the email address on my resume and uploaded the new resume to Careerbuilder and the next day I started receiving spam on a (formerly) clean email address. I am livid. I want to use that address for legitimate job and writing correspondance, not the sort of garbage mentioned by the previous commenter.

Just like the previous 2 comments, I am also being barraged by spam from Careerbuilder. Not temp services, outright, obvious spam some of it from the UK and Hong Kong. Career Builder claims to "try" to screen employers and no, they will not help me to stop it. I have even tried changing my email address and have requested my account be deleted. Instead I have started getting even more spam. I am also absolutely livid and have found Career Builder to be an utter waste of time.

CAREER BUILDER Sucks! All Spam!
My email address is now useless. Never post a real email address!

I'll stay with Dice and I do get calls and interviews. I get about 5 legitimate jobs emailed to me each day from Dice and Monster and 10+ more CB spam. The few legitimate offers from CB are junk mass mailings usually from off shore firms with bad English skills. Usually if the job looks good, I can search for it and often find it at Dice. I will never work with a recruiter or company who contacts me via CB.

Same here, but I never signed up for Career Builder with this email addy. The spammers get the email addy from other places - for me it was being stupid and trying to find out about a non-secured credit card online. I thought I was giving my addy to Visa to email me back about the card, but of course I got spammed to death instead. I started writing back to the spammers with made up names like Ollie Tabooger (I'll eat a booger) and Ahmed Adoodie (I made a doodie). I got a couple to believe me and some pretty funny emails went back and forth before I broke it off. My bro was emailing Nigerian scammers when he would get the spam messages. He ended up getting about $500 worth of *fake* travelers checks in the mail.. good stuff. Check out http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/

word to your mom.

Signing up on CareerBuilder has certainly opened up the spam on my business email address. Beware!

I have been inundated with spam proporting to be from CareerBuilder (the headers would seem to indicate otherwise) at an email address that is neither my personal email nor has it never been on any resume. It is a website@... address that has only ever been used on a site for people to contact the webmaster and had long since been replaced with a form to avoid email harvesters.

I have never used Career Builder, which was not even in existance the last time I was out looking for a job.

I submitted a resume for a CB posted job -- a legitimate job BTW as I talked with them later. I did not upload the resume to CB itself, and I've check multiples times and the CB website says I have no resume uploade. Yet, within days of submitted that resume I started getting CB spam e-mail like that described by others here. So somewhere/somehow CB is making visible what is supposed to be private & confidential information, in my case a resume / job app submitted to a single employer.

Below is a email I sent to CareerBuilder I have since not heard back from them to verify if they are just another scam.

I clicked on a link for a Two way radio repair tech I received in a job search it was a possible scam so i never applied for the job or even put any of my information in I just closed the browser window. I reported it on your web page and with in about 30 seconds of reporting it I received a email thanking me for applying for the Two way radio repair tech position from CareerBuilder the same email I have received 100's of times for the jobs I did apply for. So now I am wondering if it was a scam or if CareerBuilder is a scam and that all those jobs I applied for you never really sent my resume to in the first place just a confirmation email to me saying you did. I am constantly getting calls from places that say they found me on your site but they either want me to relocate to Nigeria to be a crane operator or sell me an extended warranty on my car that I don't even have. I have never even once gotten a call back or a no thanks email from any of the jobs I have applied for. I am going to post this message on the news groups and see if any one else has gotten the same type of emails and responses I have.

I am also now being killed with spam from careerbuilder.com. I originally had signed up for the job alert postings that they send out every week. After a few months the spam started. Attempting to contact Careerbuilder only resulted in them telling me they are committed to stopping spam and 12 new spam messages in ym inbox the next day.

DO NOT USE THEM THEY SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!@

Same thing here. I have "employers" and just people selling medication and other crap, emailing me 24/7, some in other states or countries. I will get five emails from one "company" bugging me. Then career builder forwards ten other emails about tuition and crap. They refuse to delete my account, I think they are real scam artists and sold my info to product companies too. My last name is in it too, which aggravates me a lot.
