It’s Monday and I’m calling this an anecdote. More fun from the general resume email. This gentleman’s cover email (seems archaic to say cover “letter”) ends with this paragraph:
I am a proven closer of large ticket, high margin services. I am a rare-rare breed. If you have a real opportunity, lets talk. If your a recruiter, I will not talk to you unless you can be specific about a REAL opportunity.
I laugh every time I read it. The guy is also asking for a minimum base salary of $120K with a commission plan that will match the salary.
Is there any greater turn off than unbridled arrogance?
