This kind of thing can bounce back.

Years ago, a friend called, said they had an opening and would I like to send him my resume. I did. He sent it to his manager.

A week later his manager told him that their contracting agency had already sent him my resume. And that for contractual reasons with that agency he could not consider me.

Now, I'd never even heard of this contracting agency, let alone sent them my resume. But I had dealt with other agencies, and copies of my res were on web sites.

I've always assumed they captured it from the web, or a scuzzy rep fled to a new agency with a long list of resumes on CD.
