This is... weird. (1 Viewer)

I just got one of those random emails from a recruiter who found my 3 year old resume.

What's wrong with this picture:

Hello Brad,

My name is Sprinkle and I am a Sr. Recruiter with (company name removed).

This mail is in regard to your resume @ monster.com. I have a job opening for you with (company name removed) in AUSTIN, TX . I am sending you the job details and if you are interested please reply me back with your updated resume or give me a call to discuss further about the opening.

...................

Thanks & Regards
Sprinkle
(company name)
(address and contact info)

Is this serious? When I first read it, I figured that might just be his/her first name. But they actually list that as their full name in their contact info. ROFL. Did Prince become a recruiter? Is this guy the Yao of recruiters? What the?

Weird. I laughed for a good minute solid though.

It is probably one of those companies where they promise loads of money and you can hardly make anything.....

Possibly, but it is Austin. There are some eccentric folks here.

Also, the company that he/she was recruiting for was a huge, reputable company.

BTW, you never PMed me your number.

I agree.

Heh, reading it I thought "Sprinkle" was the name you substituted in for the person's real name, especially seeing that you removed the company name.

In fact, the whole time I was reading I was thinking, "Of all the names to come up with, what made him choose 'Sprinkle'? This guy is weird..."

He actually has a last name, because his email address is "sLASTNAME", like "jsmith" for John Smith. It's an Indian/Arabian sounding name.

This is even better. He has a last name, but chooses not to use it. Mango!

Sounds like a pyramid scheme, maybe.....
