How Do I Stop Aflac™?

OK, so I posted my resume on CareerBuilder.com™, and it seems like every 3-4 days, I gett a call from some drone at Aflac™, I got three calls yesterday, trying to get me to sell insurance.

Let's be clear: I don't want to sell Insurance, Amway, or Girl Scout Cookies, I want work as a mechanical engineer.

Of course, they are all different franchises, so some new drone keeps calling, and my telling that drone not to call doesn't stop the other folks.

Unfortunately, CareerBuilder.com™ does not have the capability of blocking specific employers, probably because jerks generate too much revenue, so my options are to make my resume private, which means that no one sees my resume, or for me to start filing FCC complaints.

When the revolution comes, it's going to be telemarketers up against the wall.

Next time you get the call, listen,  get the  name of the individual, and address to reply.  Keep Calm.  Then craft a letter indicating no interest in the company and to put you on their do not call list.  Let them know that failure to do this will result in legal action.  If the keep it up, you can go down to small claims court and have them served.  Its cheap and worth it.
Good

It turns out that I actually managed to fix this by calling their main number, and saying that their franchizees were unwilling to obey their do not call list.
