• If you search Monster for a keyword, and send a mail to every single soul whose resume happens to have that keyword, you are spamming people. Just because I have worked on an ASP.NET web application that talks to DB2 server does not mean that I have the ability or the inclination pursue a career as a DB2 administrator.
• If you can’t tell me the name of the company you are recruiting for, you might as well not bother to email me. Making up my mind on if I want to work for “a large US based MNC” (while not knowing which company is in question here) is not something I like to do
• If your mail/call starts with “we found your resume to be a perfect match for …”, don’t ask me things that are already there in the resume. I expect you to have gone through the profile/resume.
• If my resume says that I am not willing to relocate, please don’t talk about opportunities that require me to relocate.

This is not to say that every single person whom I have met has been like this. I have interacted with people like Anamika from Vshreyas, Pallavi and Sreedevi from Peepal, and a few others who are good at the match-making game; and it has been a pleasure – may their tribe increase :-)
