Who's The GUILTY Party who hacked into my online Resume ???.....

[R12rules]

Someone I know hacked into my online RESUME and made some changes!!!

I was curious why I had not been getting any job offers lately...

I had asked a couple of guys here to help review my resume and make some suggestions.
Well ...someone went waaaay beyond making "sugestions" by making some drastic CHANGES!!!

When one guy wrote me back saying he would review my resume, he said he thought it was funny I had mentioned I had experience as a "Fudge Packer"!

Dang ... now HOW DID THAT GET IN THERE???

I just thought he was joking.

Then tonight.... I reviewed it personally.

My state of residence was listed at Wyoming!

And my country was Zimbabwe!!!

And that's NOT the half of it....


All I can say is .... some of us here have WAAAAYYY too much time on our hands!!! :p


& thanks ... it needed to be updated anyhow.

Jus tell me how on Earth someone thinks that adding I was a "Fudge Packer" .... was going to positively influence someone to hire me?

And then to add one letter to my e-mail address so no one could write me .... that was a good one...

I cannot even mention some of the other stuff they did. It was just awful!

[mattm]

R U 4Real?

Driven down the old dirt road lately? Traveled up the Hershey Highway? Had a date with the Brown Eyed Girl?

Still laughed my A$$ off though !!!

[wally02]

Sorry but I had just taking a drink of my soda,and spit it out when I read the part about experiece as a Fudge packer.LMAOROTF.

Whoever did that was wrong,but it sure gave us a good laugh.

[hvac4u]

Oh, my GAWD!!! My sides are KILLING ME!! Somebody shoot me!! Pleeeease... no more!!! I'm seeing stars!!!

R12 has been around here for a while,and looking for a good job most of this time.

If I didn't know him thru this site,then maybe I could see the humor.

Messing with his future ,was it worth it to YOU?

Before you left, everything was fine! The minute your gone ... Dow writes me about this funny part of my resume whereas part of my experience in California was "Fudge Packer" ....
He mentioned he thought I must be joking or something but thought it was funny.

WELL I DIDNT THINK IT WAS FUNNY!!!

But I didnt believe I was in trouble until I reviewed my once perfectly-good-resume ... and discovered all the hacked up parts of it's contents!

[R12rules]

I cant bring myself to recount what was in the part about sales. Or about menoring. It was just deplorable!!! Unspeakable!!!

[hvac/r-ia]

I dont imagine you would find it funny...sorry about the hack who done this.... but laugh at yourself and others cannot hurt you.... I hope it did not cost you a possible job

WHO KNOWS WHAT EMPLOYERS HAVE ALREADY MAILED ME JOB PROPOSALS .... TO AN ADDRESS IN Zimbabwe!!!

And with the phone number DELETED by that hack of hacksters ..... they had no real way of contacting me.

Oh wait ... one guy phoned last Tuesday.... He sounded interested.
However, I have NOT heard from the man since!!!
This was BEFORE I discovered there was a problem with my online resume!

hmmmmm.... makes ya wonder.

[i_got_ideas]

It's too bad we just filled our position...I would've hired ya.

But here's how you can turn this around.....

Go to any place you think this may have been sent to. Ask to speak to whoever does the hiring. Tell the person that you submitted a resume and you have since found that some where sent out that someone changed on you as a joke. Ask if you can submit a new one. During this time, keep in mind that you have thier attention and use it to your advantage. Take a bit of time explaining why you would be an asset to thier company and tell them you are goal oriented, driven to succeed, and have great attention to detail.

See....now you have got the chance to talk to them.

Use it to your advantage....good luck

OH, hell it was an on-line resume. Kind of hard to talk to them then isn't it.

Don't worry, you'll find something.

[R12rules]

Thanks for the kind advice.

I still await a confession from either Jack or Dice. I know one of them had something to do with this shenanegan!

[Dowadudda]

If you even want my opinion.

I think for someone to do that is very stupid. Yeagh a joke. But that joke could have some serious implications on a personal level for R12 and it's not near as funny when your the guy that had it done to them. I am a huge pratical jokester, but theres a place and time for it. This resume is being sent to potential employers, and right now, with out any screwing around R12 needs a job.

Real smart.. Real funny..

I for one am trying to help out R12 by passing his name around to colleagues. I would hope that every one here can understand that he has a wife and kids to look after and needs a job soon. Any one of you may find yourself in a situation much like he is in later on in life. Moved away, has some good experience, but now is older. Now out of his element, in a new place, needs a good paying job, economy has had a huge impact on our industry and things although improving are still not the gang busters they were a few short years ago. So he is sitting here, killing himslef to go on these job interveiws all over get out. Contractors have a difficult time seeing past the age part. It does play into many contractors decisions beleive me.

Just no need for the jokes. It's a serious matter and one I hope gets resolved soon. R12 has been a great contributor here and has a lot to offer in wisdom.

[jtricor]

I agree with dash,most jokes played out by adults go way to far. I have talked to R12 on the phone before he is a very kind hearted man and did not deserve this. I do like what Dow said also, I think that we should all help R12.

[thehumid1]

BE SCARED OF THE COMPANIES THAT DID CALL YOU ESPECIALLY IF THEY REQUEST YOU WEAR SHORTS TO THE INTERVIEW

[R12rules]

Thanks Dow.... one the serious side here.. I have been getting this "complex" like; once you pass a certain number of years either in age or trade experience, you are no longer employable to the average small service contractor.


One outfit I interviewed with out of Houston had the service manager making less than what I was requesting for salary. (he said I wanted 80K)
So when I never heard back from them, I assumed they got someone else to fill the position.
It turned out that the manager had lied to his boss about what I was requesting for salary and the boss never considered me.
But that's just one.

I get a little agressive about my work and sharing ideas when I start with a new service manager. But I never expect to take his job from him. I dont want to "run the show", I just want to be part of the ops.
If I found another person like me, I'd even consider going back into contracting! At least I'd know what to expect when I hired someone who was fifty and has demonstrated where there areas of strengths are. A young person today has the whole field open to them. It takes time to see where they will do their most excellant work in. I already know where I will excell in.
But try telling that to a perspective employer. Especially if they are younger than yourself or they are only a manager, and not an owner.



Oh, on the humorous side; to the pranksters here on this forum, I admit we all need a good alugh from time to time. And I would nto have posted the question; "Who Done It?", if I was concerned about the replies that would soon be flying around here.

Seriously, I dont know who was responsible. Ed has not a mean bone in his head. (heart?) So I dont really blame him.
And ,yes, I do know what fuge packing is about. I lived in that state many years. Although that term is not a common one. Even amongst the queer set.

Your all a great bunch here. And I dont mind some humor. It turned out pretty funny afterall.

If anyone wants to see a brief copy of my resume, they can go to the thread for jobs. It's listed in my post over there.
(I changed my log in name so it wont be hacked so easily next time)

All right. We've all gotten together and appointed a commission to look into this. The results will be televised live on CNN.

Dice, you're being asked to appear to testify about crimes against nature. You will be asked by the makeup dept. to use some blackout to give the appearance of a gap between your front teeth.

Jack's getting served with a subpoena today as well. He will be given a suitable head covering to conceal cranial appendages.

Okay, I'm *almost* done laughing, but seriously, that was a pretty crappy thing for somebody to do. I sincerely hope that R12 closes whatever loopholes allowed the hacker to gain access to his site. I can only imagine how that must have made him feel.

At first, I didnt believe what I was hearing. I never thought someone would just make a few changes, add a few experiences and let it go.

But when I looked and saw some changes .... I began to think: "aw #$%!" And THEN I saw that part about what I suposedly did for experience in California.... Fudge Packer... hmmmmm


It got worse from there.


Anyway ... I got some laughs too.


On a positive note, I just spoke with a guy today in Montana. He said he'd split the airfare for a flight out there. It turns out he and I were born in the same town near Lost Angeles.

(not on the same day, of course)

He sounds really nice. Missoula.
The guy asked if I worked on markets. I said sure. Then I explained I was not a "market-man" per se. But whatever he's got for clientel, I can learn their equipment.
Sure I've worked in markets. But not 1/10th the stuff Dow & Dave do everyday.

I am trying to stay where it's sunny, but not too humid. Rain is okay unless it's 9 mos out of the year. And as far as snow is concerned, I'd just as soon see very little of it. Some if okay, but no 12 foot snow drifts and NO ICE STORMS!!!

My wife was raised in Monroe LA. I would love to be over there so as to be near family.


Thanks again for y'all helping me with locating a position.
Side work is okay for awhile.... but that was over awhile ago ...

uh uh ok. I know theirs a serious side to this too but I haven't worked through this yet.

[mick68]

Fooling with your resume is a dirty deal. Don't worry about your age. I'm 68 and still get job offers. As long as you have experience and confidence in your abilities you'll find employers who are interested.

[R12rules]

I jus dont know how I exer exhisted without this site.
And now I am questioning WHY i even come here at all!!! :D


Seriously though ... this place is tops.

hackers and all.

[sctech]

maybe they should have listed your addy as san fran. since u got fudgepacking exp. lmbo

[frozensolid]

People who do that, want to feel bigger and more powerful than they can ever be. So they think it's funny to bring others down.

They usually get what they have coming.

If it cost you a job R-12, maybe it's fate. A better job may be waiting for you down the road.

[Diceman]

Somebody hired him anyway, don't worry.
