Oh! You mean that annoying thing? Yeah, that’s my first time to experience it.
I’ve often read about people who’s former employers still used their names, education info, work experience and pictures as advertising for their school. Lo and behold I’m now part of that group.
While eating a delicious homemade bran muffin (yes, I am a healthy geek and feel bowl movement proud of that!) I was looking at job postings and saw my old employer had a listing. I checked out their web page (that hardly worked in the year I was there) and there was ME. What the hell? Not only me but at least 4 other instructors that I know don’t work there anymore; listed as “currently employed”. I, luckily, only have my picture and name on there – other’s have their full resumes posted and they too are listed as currently employed. Very annoying.
I know in Canada this is illegal but the laws and the enforcement of them here is …. well… what the hell is a good descriptor? A no go. Unlikely. Dubious. Doubtful. Remote. Unheard of. You get it.
So, does anyone know if there is anyway to get them to take it down? I sent them a helpful email reminding them that I don’t work there anymore (along with trying to call 2 different phone numbers this evening but no one was in the office and no answering machines).
I bet a call every day will get it done, just to get rid of the nuisance. That’s more likely to git’er’done than citing privacy laws.
I’m going to send my husband after them and see what happens ^^
Is there a ranting ajumma you can deploy? The lower the voice, the better. I bet if she visits the hogwan three mornings in a row, your picture will be gone forever.
Do you now have a degree from Harvard, too?
My former hagwon was notorious for this.
Ah, just be flattered that you’re so pretty they think your face is an asset to enrollment. Sorry. I know you’re pissed but I couldn’t resist.
