Jesus Christ, I don't want to move to the middle of Illinois in bumblefuckwhoknowswhere. Champaign is not a thriving capital city. And when you start out your pitch to me, maybe you should avoid saying "I'm really desperate to find talent like you." I can tell. You are trying to get me to move to the trashbed of one of the worst states in the union. You also don't need to email EVERY OTHER FUCKING WEEK! I didn't change my mind from last week to this week. I didn't suddenly have a coming to Jesus moment and realized, HOLY SHIT I NEED TO MOVE TO A FUCKING CORNFIELD! You also don't have to call my cell phone once a week to see if I changed my mind. An email that I will ignore is good enough. This also applies to the recruiters trying to get me to move to Atlanta.

I'm sure if you hold out long enough, a Foot Locker around Crystal Lake will have an opening

Agreed! A few years ago I signed up for a job search site that apparently sold my info to every small, Podunk college in Eastern Iowa. Phone calls, emails daily, texts. It was constant. Took awhile to make it stop.

This explains Goff's move.

Yes, we are not sitting still!

I know, you have emailed me once a week.


I'm reaching out to you because you are the talent we are looking for. Now you may not want to make a change, because you are happy where you are, and you are still learning and growing and that's fine! Stay where you are!

BUT do know this - [Company in Atlanta] just opened a TECH SHED in the San Francisco Bay, and is looking to hire outstanding talent in the next years to come, so now you have locations to pick from....
Keep an eye out for me, because we just opened several new positions which I will send out in the next couple of days.

Call Me!


This person has no clue how commas are to be used in a sentence. Also, how is a new office in San Fransisco a selling point for me when I am in FUCKING CHICAGO. You aren't going to help me re-locate. I'm not going to travel five days a week for less pay. Come on.

This is basically a plea for help!

Wow, that's a great way to get my attention.

I apologize for the intrusion and I know I have probably sent you these job descriptions before.

Really?

Believe me when I say, I genuinely don’t want to harass anyone

REALLY?

This position is based in Miami, FL and holds a Full Time salary of up to $XXK
Relocation Expenses would be paid


I told you once already that I don't want to move to Miami, especially for less than I already make.


Thank you so much for your patience and taking the time to read this email, I understand you probably have hundreds a day!


Oh no, thank you. I anticipate to hear from you a hundred more times.

You sure attracted an annoying strain of headhunter, there. Worse I deal with are those who go through the switchboard at work.

I have more than 500 contacts on LinkedIn, bitches.

Job offers in San Francisco and Miami sound pretty cool to me.

I hear UofI has a nice little cs program... It's a pretty telling sign if they cant attract students down there to work for them.
