What to do with the "sales" emails?
Since I revamped my Indeed, Monster and Careerbuilder profiles, I'm getting a lot of unsolicited emails asking if I am interested in sales jobs or insurance jobs. Today I got one saying that my resume was a perfect fit for their Construction Manager position. I am a Marketing and Communications Professional.
What do you do? Do you respond to each and every one saying thank you but no thank you? I have been responding, attaching my resume and asking to be notified if there are any open positions in my career.
What are you all doing?

I agree with the others. Monster and CareerBuilder are behind the times. My favorite job search platform is ZipRecruiter.

I agree. I have my profile up for maximum exposure. You like ZipRecruiter? I find LinkedIn Job and Glassdoor much more user friendly, but I'll give it another try. Thanks!

I do. I'm in marketing and have been finding a lot. I find that ZipRecruiter tends to be a little better for me because I'm looking for remote jobs and the filter for that is better than on Indeed or LinkedIn.

Are you getting any hits finding a job? I'm working through a list of target companies now and sending LinkedIn connection requests to either friends of friends or Talent Acquisition managers. I'm trying to tap into the unadvertised job market.

I found Glassdoor, LinkedIn and for hyperlocal focus, Indeed. I pulled my profile from Monster and CareerBuilder.

Yep, I only use Glassdoor and LinkedIn, put my profile up for maximum exposure.

Even if you do qualify and are interested, they don't respond if you tell them you are.

Just ignore them. They're spam.

I just ignore them unless they send it multiple times.

Hi Kristen - that's what I use too, LinkedIn, Glassdoor and my network, but I wanted to cover all my bases and put up resumes on all the major websites. I'm way too old to join Handshake LOL! Thanks!
