I am sorry, call it a weakness, but I had to reply here. I in no way disagree with you regarding the use of intellectual property rights, but I believe that I would find myself flattered if someone did this. I am quite an articulate individual, and as such, I realize that their are people who just do not have a way with words. If someone were to rip off a copyrighted work from me and make a profit I would be upset, but to use those words to simply find a job is another thing. I guess that you might want to consider putting a legal notice of intellectual rights property on your cover letter or wherever he copied this from. This might look awful funny to employers, but it would avoid you having to flame a person for trying to survive. P.S Lee if you need help writing a good resume, let me know. I would be glad to help
