Got this one on Friday, and in my opinion it is representative of the general level of recruiters:
ReplyDelete"My name is ****, Recruiter at *** (Fortune 100 company).
Your profile came up in my recent search for marketing SEO professionals. We currently have a full time opportunity for an In House SEO Manager located in ***. This role is responsible for the assisting in the development of the enterprise wide organic search (SEO) strategy and then identifying the resources to implement and track the programs...."
Yes, it is word "organic" in my resume that caught his attention.
I got an even worse call once. When I was being recruited for undergrad I got one call from a small liberal arts college in CA. I asked them if they had chemistry as a major.... Their reply?
ReplyDelete"No chemistry but are you interested in "Christian Science?" They both sort with a 'C'!"
