Too Long; Didn't Read
As a software engineer with more than 15 years of experience, I got my fair share of interaction with recruiters. Some were spot-on with the relaxed to the point attitude that gets an engineer’s attention. Others were really weird. Here are some patterns emerging on how recruiters contacted me. Please try to avoid them, as they don’t lead anywhere. The worst emails I get are those when the recruiter starts the message with something to the tune of: "Hi Tudor, I’m looking for a position that requires technology"
