How does one get headhunters to leave her alone?

Posted on May 12th, 2008

Have I ever mentioned how sick of headhunters I am? Well I am. I don’t want their phone calls. I don’t want their emails. I don’t want the crappy job they’re offering, and I don’t know anyone who is qualified to apply for the crappy job they’re offering. It’s not crappy, they say? I don’t care. I don’t want to discuss it.

I know you didn’t “get my name from someone while networking.” That lie is old. Quit using it. I know you found me in a CPA directory or on the internet. When you lie, I hate you even more. So can we stop the charade?

What must I do to get headhunters to quit contacting me? Any suggestions are deeply appreciated.

    Head Hunters can be quite the annoyance. Unfortunately I don’t know if there is any way around them contacting you (apart from removing your name from the directories that they scan.)

    They’re kind of like tele-marketers, but without a “do not call list.”
