Looks like the job market is hot right now for engineers; Web 2.0 companies are sprouting up everyone, and as always there’s a dearth of quality engineers. So I’m sure it takes recruiters and managers a lot of effort to lure good engineers away from their existing jobs. Now I’m not one to get offended very easily, but I thought it was quite humorous when I recently received this email in my LinkedIn inbox…

Hi Poornima,

I took a look at your profile and you are definitely the kind of guy that we would like to work with for our startup.

Sorry buddy but if you had done a simple Google search on my name you would have realized that I’m probably not the kind of “guy” who would like to work for your startup. Guess they forgot to account for corner cases when they sent out this email!
