    Yep - I got another of these about a month ago. They must be doing a new trawl. We had a thread on this in which it was concluded we'd all somehow, unknowingly, opted in to their emails. I unsubscribed and, to be fair, they stopped. However, as I am still in the same gig and haven't re-uploaded my CV to any job sites, I don't know how I managed to re-opt in. I've 'unsubscribed' again...

      You should never unsubscribe from emails like that as now they know your email account is active and looked at.

      Just set up your email account so they go into your spam folder.

        Just counted 48 emails in my spam folder from the same outfit over the period Jul '12 to Mar '13. I seem to recall there were a few missed calls coinciding with the early emails.
        No emails for 2 months now...

            God, I'd never want to have an interview in Reading. Last time I was there I was nearly assaulted by the usual bums outside the train stations.

              You must look like a bumpkin.

                Does that include the homeless gentlemen arguing over their methadone outside the station?
