    Congratulations, you now have an iProfile

    Not another one FFS!!

    I few months back I updated my original iProfile just in case it was of some use (though I doubt it), this isn't the first time an agency has kindly set up a new blank one for me... bastards.

    The removal link gives me this:

    Unsubscribe Error We have been unable to verify your credentials

    Retry the unsubscribe link in the email you received
    So now I have a blank iProfile competing with my complete one, thanks ReThink Recruitment.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I've just had that as well. I haven't read it, so what is an iProfile?
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!

          They've done it to me as well. Muppets...

              and me, the cheeky f*kcers

              I did tinker with my iProfile a couple of years back, but haven't looked at it since.

              So what have this Rethink outfit actually done?

                I got one made up with iprofile.com.au this week touting me for work in Sydney.

                Last time I was in Australia was 2002.

                Think I might contact Australian immigration and tell them they are advertising workers without visas.

                  Thank you for noting the email from ReThink about your iProfile creation. iProfile works by cross referencing your data against the existing recruiter database, and as long as a number of elements match, then your iProfile won’t be duplicated, but will be updated. (if you are really bored there is a video on CV Template - iProfile the Online CV template)

                  We use about 10 different elements to check, such as post code, phone number etc, but on occasion our records don't match...... so a new iProfile is created. It could be that the ReThink database didn't have enough information in it and therefore didn't pick up your existing iProfile.

                  All of that said, I will be happy to check your specific iProfiles for you, you can get hold of me on sales(at)iprofile.org and merge any information for you. If you can let me know a name and email address that should be enough.

                  I will also have a look at the wording on the emails that are sent out, they may need amending.

                  Thanks once again for picking it up, hopefully we will be able to help you out.

                  With many thanks,
                  Claire at iProfile

                    Ha Re-think have done the same to me too - clicking unsubscribe in the email throws up an error and when I finally logged in found that my i-profile is around 6 years out of date - have to delete it again This must be about the 8-9th iprofile i've deleted.
