 This email response is decidedly unprofessional.<br />

The keeper of a Cleveland job bank online posting group is under fire 
after she ridiculed, embarrassed and trash-talked at least two job 
seekers who sought the woman’s help in getting admitted to the group’s 
email listserv.<br />

Kelly Blazek, the group’s self-described “House Mother” and 
communications professional, has scrubbed all traces of herself from the
 Internet after the web erupted when her vitriolic emails went viral.<br />

It all began when Diana Mekota wrote Blazek about her qualifications so
 she could use the listserv to find a job after relocating to the Ohio 
city from Rochester, N.Y., <a href="http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/02/job_bank_head_kelly_blazeks_sc.html?xrs=RebelMouse_tw" target="_blank">the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.</a><br />

Mekota also sent an “invitation to connect” on LinkedIn with the well-networked Blazek.<br />

But Blazek, who once said she wanted her “subscribers to feel like 
everyone is my little sister or brother, and I’m looking out for them,” 
instead wrote back with a scathing email telling Mekota off.<br />

“Apparently you have heard that I produce a Job Bank, and decided it 
would be stunningly helpful for your career prospects if I shared my 
960+ LinkedIn connections with you — a total stranger who has nothing to
 offer me,” Blazek wrote to the John Carroll University graduate. "Your 
invite to connect is inappropriate, beneficial only to you, and tacky.”<br />

The scorned Mekota posted the nasty letter to imgur.com, posted under 
the headline “Your humility lesson for the year from a ‘professional.’”<br />

“Guess us twenty somethings should bow down to senior professionals 
because clearly we have nothing to offer,” Mekota wrote alongside her 
post.<br />

The email quickly went viral — and sent Blazek, who won a local “Communicator of the Year” award in 2013, scrambling.<br />

<a href="http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/02/job_bank_head_kelly_blazeks_sc.html?xrs=RebelMouse_tw" target="_blank">The contrite communicator sent the Plain Dealer an apology, writing, </a>“My Job Bank listings were supposed to be about hope, and I failed that.”<br />

“In my harsh reply notes, I lost my perspective about how to help, and I
 also lost sight of kindness, which is why I started the Job Bank 
listings in the first place,” Blazek wrote. “The note I sent to Diana 
was rude, unwelcoming, unprofessional and wrong.”<br />

<a href="http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/02/job_bank_head_kelly_blazeks_sc.html?xrs=RebelMouse_tw" target="_blank">It was a far cry from just last year,</a>
 when the Cleveland Chapter of the International Association of Business
 Communicators wrote that “Blazek is not just a headhunter or a 
recruiter, but a senior communications executive who enjoys helping 
others in the profession," in announcing she had won the communications 
award.<br />

And the story of one rebuke brought out another job seeker who says he, too, was verbally beat down by Blazek.<br />

"My December Job Bank had a five paragraph rant about what a poor job 
my subscribers do when telling others to sign up for my service — 
explaining one's career field is paramount to entry. Period. I promise 
to deny any requester who made me guess what they do. Congratulations — 
you're another one,” Blazek wrote to Rick Uldricks late last year.<br />

“This is the most bizarre response I've ever gotten from a Yahoo group,
 but maybe she's just having a bad day," Uldricks told the Plain Dealer.<br />

But when he heard Mekota’s story, he came forward with the snarky, rude email.<br />

"I provide an amazing free service to an entire industry that needs to 
remember I have no idea, nor do I want to know, the personal resume 
behind 7,300 e-mails or 2,700 Twitter handles. People are removed from 
my list for spamming me, for annoying me (you're doing a great job), and
 perhaps you were removed on purpose?" she wrote.<br />

“I suggest you sign up for the other Job Bank in town. Oh, guess what —
 there isn't one," Blazek, signing off with, "Done with this 
conversation, and you."<br />

Blazek has deleted her LinkedIn, Twitter and blog accounts and other 
LinkedIn users named Kelly Blazek are distancing themselves from the Job
 Bank one, including a Wisconsin woman who wrote she is not the Blazek 
“in the news.”<br />

Blazek parody Twitter accounts have popped up and a new Cleveland job 
bank service, “run by a couple of millennials,” sprouted under the 
handle <a href="https://twitter.com/OtherNEOJobBank" target="_blank">@OtherNEOJobBank.</a></div>
