I recieved the following within the LinkedIn internal ‘InMail’ messaging system:<\/p>\n
Hi Zulfikar,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Greetings for the day.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Wipro Technologies is a global information technology, consulting and outsourcing company with 145,000 employees serving over 900 clients in 61 countries.Wipro is globally recognized for its innovative approach towards delivering business value and its commitment to sustainability<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n we do have an excellent opportunity comes up with our major client and its exactly matching your skill and experience . Kindly go through the job description below and please replay back to me your interest.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Kindly have a look at the job overview:<\/strong><\/span> Experience in developing, implementing or architecting information technology systems, with 1+ years in Dell One (Quest) Identity Manager<\/strong><\/span> Please respond bank to me with your updated resume.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Best Regards,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Having worked within LinkedIn as a recruiter myself and having had access to the LinkedIn ‘Recruiter’ feature set I certainly know how to format an InMail in order to garner a good rate of response. LinkedIn provides great training & advice on how best to use the limited InMail allowance you get to its best effect. This chap totally failed on all fronts. I just had to respond, and respond I did:<\/p>\n Dear A, I hope you are well.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you for the approach, however I must state at the outset that a role in Geneva is not currently in my best interest.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I actually was not going to reply but I feel I must. I am used to being approached out of the blue on LinkedIn, however your InMail is unfortunately littered with grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. I hope you can correct these in future InMails.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Additionally there is no information on the salary range on offer OR whether the role is a contract or a permanent position. Knowing that the role is in Geneva I have no clear understanding of the language requirements (is English sufficient or does one need Swiss\/German\/French?) and what the considerations are for relocation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Your last line is also not the way you should really sign off, asking for my resume is all well & good but that is a matter of considered timing and manners. In fact my LinkedIn profile should avail you of approximately 95% of the content of my resume. If you peruse my profile you will be a better judge of whether I fit this role or not.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I wish you the best in finding the right person for this role. Good luck.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Regards, Zulfikar.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I know nothing about the guy who sent me the original InMail, I am 99% sure that his first language is not English so I should definitly give him some leeway in that respect, However the whole approach is, in my opinion, pretty poor and here are the 5 reasons why:<\/p>\n I hear Genevas nice this time of year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recieved the following within the LinkedIn internal ‘InMail’ messaging system: Hi Zulfikar, Greetings for the day.
