When I was a freshman, I got an email from Microsoft that said "One of our recruiters recently reviewed your resume and is very interested in speaking with you about your interests and skills".
I didn't actually have a résumé at the time.
I wouldn't call that particular tactic black hat, but it did raise my suspicions.
- cperciva 17y agoI have a Microsoft story which beats that: I was invited to give a talk at Microsoft Research about research I had done, and when I arrived I was introduced as "Colin Percival, who wants to work for us". I gave my talk and escaped as quickly as I could.
