It's always fun
...to have a recruiter contact you about a job in your own organization. Now, to be fair, my online resume never indicates who my current employer is, so the poor guy had no way of knowing. But it's still entertaining to see an ad for a job whose candidates I'll be (and have been recently) interviewing.
I love the way the introduction had such friendly wording:
I would like to proceed you candidature for the below position with one of my client and would like to know your interest and availability on the same.
To proceed further you are required to send me your updated resume and two professional references for the same
(I would have challenged CANDIDATURE.) I always have to remind myself that in British and British-influenced English, "require" has a milder connotation than in America, where it's equivalent to "demand".
Oh, and one more thing, Mr. Recruiter, which I can't stress enough: No, I am NOT going to send contact information for friends and colleagues to someone I don't know. I'll give them to you after a face-to-face interview has convinced me that I want the job.
