How Far Will You Go?

Microsoft tries to recruit me

From: Mike (Search Wizards) V-MIKE@MICROSOFT.COM
To: ESR@THYRSUS.COM

Eric,

I am a member of the Microsoft Central Sourcing Team. Microsoft is
seeking world class engineers to help create products that help people
and businesses throughout the world realize their full potential.

Your name and contact info was brought to my attention as someone who
could potentially be a contributor at Microsoft.  I would love an
opportunity to speak with you in detail about your interest in a career
at Microsoft, along with your experience, background and qualifications.
I would be happy to answer any questions  that  you may have and  can
also provide you with any information  I have available in regard to the position-s  and work life at Microsoft.
You can learn more about our vision for the New World of Work.

Additionally, if you are aware of any current or previous colleagues
who might also be interested in opportunities at Microsoft, I would be happy to speak with them as well.   Referrals are always welcome, and are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to an opportunity to speak to you in the near future

Best regards,
Mike

Something is seriously broken when a Microsoft recruiter reaches out to Eric S Raymond, why not ask Steve Jobs if he's looking for a new challenge?
