Cut out everything but the last sentence, hit send. Good for a long form blog post, utterly terrible as an email to a recruiter. Lots of great, and perfectly valid points presented, just not the right material to turn down a job/interview offer.
- grey-area 14y agoI imagine this was written more as an open letter to Google, i.e. it is addressed to a wider audience and written with an eye for publication, rather than in the expectation of a dialogue with the HR department at a huge corporation.
- iamdave 14y agoThe same thought came through my mind, which lead to multiple revisions of my comment. Granted, I agree with quite a lot of what the author is saying here.
- nddrylliog 14y agoGranted, there's very little chance that the recruiter herself will find interest in the whole post. Hence the blog post. As others have pointed out, recruiters are trained to skip down to the call for action, so the fact that 85% of it is irrelevant is not really a problem.
