to talk to you about…
Having read all that, I’m confident that you have a position that’s great for me. Thanks especially for taking the time to include my name in your email, and letting me know what caught your eye. I know, there’s only a little bit about me online, so I ought to be able to guess why you’d like to hire me.
Oh, I know, you’re a body shop! Thanks for the blog-fodder. If you don’t want to be treated like this, let me say a good word for my friends at Alta and Associates. They’ve never placed me, and never pressured me to take a job that wasn’t right. I’ve not yet hired through them, but we still talk, and I value that they treat me like a person. Let me also say a word for my friend ClueChick, who writes about online dating, and often encounters this pattern.
If Alta and Associates folks would return phone calls they would be OK. But they do not (which makes them at least somewhat unprofessional)! As far as infosec recruiters go, Lee Kushner rocks!
