Improving the Unemployment Rate-How NOT to Apply For a Job in a Down Economy

By John Darer

ADVERTISEMENTS
So I receive this "email" from someone I don't know earlier today and felt compelled to respond.
 
In a message dated 01/05/10 09:48:50 Eastern Standard Time, XYZZZZ writes:
I am looking for a MSCC position...see resume
 
 
 
My response:
 
Dear Ms. XYZZZZZ,
 
Thank you for your resume. While we are not seeking someone with your qualifications I would like to give you some constructive feedback.
 
1. Your approach is a MAJOR turn off. Correspondence to a prospective employer or client should not be reduced to the form and substance of a "tweet"
2. You have done nothing to distinguish yourself- no introduction, no referral source, no sense of commonality (only by opening your attachment does one notice that you took a NAMSAP course-but not that you are even a member)
3. Consider that we live in days where attachments may contain harmful viruses. Few will risk downtime on their computer.
4. Proper sentence construction would be nice
5. So would a proper sign off identifying who you are
 
In these economic times where many are seeking work, it would be prudent to put one's best foot forward.
 
Good luck to you.
