I once wrote a reply email to an Amazon recruiter saying effectively, "If Amazon were the last software company left on earth, I would rather become a carpenter than work there. Please never ask me to interview there again."
Anyhow a couple years later I got called by a recruiter from Amazon asking me if I'd be willing to relocate to work there.
- pfannkuchen 2y agoWell the guy was technically in line - your conditional wasn’t satisfied.
- khedoros1 2y agoI think I wrote an email along those lines, at some point, although it was as much annoyance with the persistence of a particular recruiter as it was a desire not to work at Amazon.
- int_19h 2y agoI had a similar experience with Facebook, although my email was much more aggressive (this was when their recruiter contacted me right after I got tripped by one of their UX dark patterns in a way that translated to real world harm). I kept getting invites until I put a clear statement expressing my desire to never ever work for Facebook into my LinkedIn profile FWIW I think it's because recruiters at most companies are effectively contractors and don't have access to all history of communications.
