#AmazingProfileBut #GrillingQuestionsAhead
So you know how recruiters always hit you up saying your profile is just amazing? And then they turn around and ask you for all the basic info that makes it amazing in the first place? We’ve all been there. But hey, I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve to have a little fun with them.
Here’s a few questions I like to throw back at them:
1. “What specifically about my profile led you to believe I’d be a great fit? I’d love to know so I can optimize it!”
2. “Your client is bulk hiring? Are they having trouble with retention and turnover rates?”
3. “Why is the client seeking senior-level experience for entry-level roles?”
4. “Why is a prestigious client’s budget $15/hr for a role that is normally between $30-$40?”
And you know what? They usually disappear into thin air after that. Go figure, right?
So, next time you’re faced with one of these “amazing profile” pitches, throw some questions back. Who knows, maybe it’ll get you off their radar too. 😉 #RecruiterHumor #ProfileOptimization #InterviewQuestions
Engaging with the bots probably just ensures your account is marked as active and hence you will be targeted more
Imagine this: You’re a heating/AC company. You do a marketing blitz and send out mailers to the addresses within a 50 mile radius of your business. Potentially hundreds of households. Some of those residents who receive your marketing materials don’t qualify for your services (ie, renters). You don’t know that until you actually connect 1/1 with them. The heating/AC company isn’t “scummy”. They sent out a mass marketing message that somehow identified you as a potential target. No harm, no foul. If you qualify…great. If you don’t…no harm done.
These are absolutely golden, I’m saving this for later
So annoying.
Also I get
“I love your LinkedIn profile. I have a great job can I have you resume”
I’m like what’s the job?
Time wasting piece of shits
Usually I just ignore recruiters who can’t name the basic information like my name or what industry I am in. I got a client recruiting for x but I can’t tell you who it is or share the job postings I just assume it is bs. Sometimes I want to ask them are you recruiting for the cia or nsa or mi6. I am not interested in them taking me for a ride
Just tell them to put DNC on your profile and stop wasting your own time playing games.
ha! love your questions!!! especially seeking someone with Senior Level of experience for an entry level position within their company with a entry level pay rate.. smh. GMFU! GTFOH!
