Are ”recruiter” in mail just a message that was sent to the majority? Just got an inbox message but to me it smells ”phishy”.

I think a lot of them are legit search and staffing, but they do tend to use bots that post off of machine-learning and key words. I'm sure there are some pure scammers on too, but I think a lot are recruiters mass messaging in hopes that they can dial in their pitch once someone responds.

I got a terribly worded one from a former schoolmate and I actually emailed her separately to see if someone was using her identity. It was just a new bot her company had implemented that could only speak like a second grader. 😆

funny

Yes. They copy and paste the same message to dozens of people hoping someone will respond

Doesn’t surprise me. I received some seasonal tax preparing from KPMG and a few other B4 this month. Not sure how they can’t filter out current employee titles.

Pro tip - put your middle initial (if you have one) as part of your first name on LinkedIn. The messages that address you with the middle initial are bots. The ones that don’t are legit.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
