George;
When I apply online for a position 'with a questionnaire,' [company] receives my resume. [company] is selling training for certifications, and they've purchased a deal to receive information about applicants that are not Microsoft certified.
You're requesting that I do not apply for positions onilne that include questionnaires, because [company] will receive my information again, and since I've opted out of being contacted by groups that wish to advertise their services to me, my information is of no use to you, making me a bogus sales lead.
So you've contacted me to ask me to 'do you a favor,' and not apply for positions online, so that you do not continue to receive my worthless information, which apparently is an inconvenience for you and for [company].
I find this request odd.
It seems to me that if [company], who surely purchased whatever functionality is involved in receiving my resume, would prefer not to receive my resume and the resumes of other applicants without certifications, then [company] could discontinue whatever advertising program they're involved in.
Furthermore, it would appear that both you and the provider of this service to [company] have violated the privacy agreement between them and myself. Them by providing my contact information to you, and you for using it to advertise your services under the pretense of asking me to "Do you a favor," knowing that I don't wish to receive your advertisements.
Is that pretty much accurate, George?
Since you've taken it upon yourself to advertise to me anyway, you or a [company] representative are invited to send a response to clear up any misunderstandings here.
Please let me know which company has provided my information to you, so that I may discontinue use of their service, and bring a formal complaint. I think that's fair, since "The employers don't get my resume."
On the bright side, maybe this will limit the number of bogus leads they're billing [company] for.
And for crying out loud, don't write business email in small serifed italics. It's unprofessional.
What time should I stop by, then?
Signed,
Your complimentary career assessment,
Blake Carroll

Federal law requires that commercial email senders must clearly
identify their email as solicitations or advertisements. Such email
must contain a legitimate return email address and the sender's postal
address. Commercial email senders are required to use subject lines
that are honest, not misleading ones to trick readers into opening
their messages. Finally, they must provide you an easily accessible,
legitimate means to opt out of receiving future messages.
If you opt out but receive unsolicited email, you should report it to
the Federal Trade Commission.
---------------------------
George, this means not only is your subject line in violation of the
FTC code, but also that you, the provider. and [company] have not provided me with
a way to opt me out.
This is bad.

Actually your resume does not reach the employer once you say no you do not have the certs. I am trying to help you in your job search so you can better target your market. Have you tried all of the outsource placement firms in the area. They don't cost any money but would help you get the job you want.
I think he missed the boat entirely.

What kind of IT do you do?
I was thinking of making a website but know nothing.
I am willing to front some money but maybe an add or two to make it self-sustaining.
