Dear Shireen,
I would be grateful if you could contact me to discuss your career aspirations in detail as I am working on a vacancy for a client that I feel would be of interest to you.
Please could you either contact me on the number below or alternatively, email me back suggesting a convenient time, date and number for me to call you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
*Recruiter Name Here*
Consultant

I hate recruiters. They always screw you over. ALWAYS. Tonight, I'm feeling brazen. I've had an umeshu, 330ml of quality beer, and a large shot of sake aged 10 years. Here is my response:

Hi *Recruiter*,
Here's what I would like to know. When I was unemployed and looking for a job, you contacted me and told me something along the lines of, "I can definitely help you out, I'll call you back".
You never did.
So. Why should I give you my business?
Cheers,
Shireen

Can you believe, this recruiter looked me up on LinkedIn and wanted to join my network? Yeah, like I'm that stupid to accept and let a recruiter view my contacts.

That must have been a very cheap recruiter. Normally they just pay money to LinkedIn and are then able to see everybody...
knuf, me.
Unsurprisingly, no reply in my inbox today ;)
