Well in my job hunt my name and personal information has been sold yet again apparently to a company called Franalysis.
Sounds like a place where they do things to your colon but I guess is some kind of franchising clearing house.
One thing I have come to realize is that if "the sell" is in any way shape or form ambiguous it's probably not what I am looking for, namely a job.
So back to Franalysis, they have a disclaimer on their email threating me to not copy or redistribute the email, another flag that I don't want anything to do with it.
It further states if I am not the proper recipient to destroy the email.
Well I have been in IT long enough to know that is easier said than done, nothing is ever permanently deleted.
I have had to perform enough data recoveries to recover evidence against employee policy infractions to know better than that.
I am not going to throw my PC into a trash compacter and then burn it either, so delete with have to do I guess.
Nothing showed up on Ripoff.com about Fanalysis, a good sign as far as I am concerned there.
Saw some discussion on a franchise website which was positive, always hard to tell because sometimes employees tout their own business impersonating happy customers.
But I will take it for what it's worth Franalysis seems to be a consulting firm that partners your money with franchises for a percentage fee and is on the up and up.
Either way, I am not a business owner, don't want to be a business owner, not a venture capitalist and my information was yet again sold either with or without my knowledge or consent.
I have no way of policing the hundreds of job boards and corporate websites I have had to enter my information on to ever know, I still need to look for a job and not for who sold my info.
I guess I have been unsubscribed, I followed their instructions in the email and saw that it was my first name, last name and email that was sold.

Whew its a lot of work reading my email....
Welcome To Detroit
I got their email today (I'm listed on Monster.com and careerbuilder.com looking for a job). The scary part about their ad is the part about using your 401-k or IRA to finance your new franchise without penalties. The company they use creates a 401-k to move your money into, and then uses the money to buy stock in your newly formed corporation, for a percentage I'm sure. A risky thing to do in my opinion.
