Recently a recruiter emailed me from my LinkedIn profile about an interesting opportunity. “I have an interesting opportunity, would you be interested?” his message said.

Who does not want “an interesting” opportunity so of course I said, “sure…please send me some details.”
The next response was…”I am working on a lot of opportunities…can we talk. Send me your updated resume.”

Now that is a little weird behaviour. You should have a good idea about who am I through my LinkedIn profile. After all you contacted me, right. Anyhow I still maintained professional conduct, “please let me know the details about the company and role and if I mind it a match I will send you my resume.”

He responded by giving no details about the company and of course again asking for a copy of resume.

This is a pattern of conversation with a number of recruiters. They search me from LinkedIn and then shoot email to collect resumes. This is bad manners and really bad business.

Well, bad time or good time. If you do not have the courage to be honest. You can not represent me. I wonder what you would do to your clients, (if you have them). Recruitment is business of trust and mutual respect. Quacks and pretend-career coaches are not welcome. Thanks I will take my chances.
