Friday sourcing anecdote time so let’s go. This one was an email response that I need to give you just a little background information. First, the company we were running this hiring process for had a few open positions on their website. Second, we were in different stages of the hiring process on several positions with several customers. I received this email with “work at home” for a subject:
hi ijohna ilooking to work this at home can you call me asap 4561230978cst
johna@email.com call me monday at 2;00pmcst
I am always baffled by responses like this to employment ads. This guy obviously has some communication issues with email. Yet, this type of response is even worse for a sales role. Is this how he will prospect for new business? Feeble as his approach was, you still have to give him credit for making the approach. Some salespeople won’t even do that!
