Received this email from a headhunter today.
It started “Hi Daniel—”, then had markings indicating that the rest of the text came from a 3-times forwarded message. I’ve taken out the recruiting firm’s name, but the rest is verbatim, including all of the crazy capitalizations.
I hope all is well. TKSEARCHFIRM is an executive search firm focused on national marketing communications search. We are working on a unique senior lead Digital Editor Global Content search for a known, respected firm in the business information sector. Our client has done a fantastic job at transitioning most all their products and information sources into digital form. Their Blogs and social sites are not only leading edge, trendy & smart business information sources they are key channels for ecommerce development. They are now a leader in their space with many competitors beginning to emerge in the marketplace and follow their trail.I think my favorite line is:
Our Client’s off-the-chart awareness growth in digital channels has led to the creation of a new Digital Editor for Global Content position. We are searching for someone with experience very similar to yours; a leader (or rising leader) in Online & Social Media’s, attached (passionate) to the business world and can actively impact global content for a well resourced site. Their business content is viewed and Authors are translated into every major global economy in the world. This person should be known, or beginning to develop a name for themselves, in the Business Information Editorial community as a leader in digital content and have an audience of Followers as well. The client is located in the Boston area and will have this candidate work from home in NYC.
We truly need a Rock Star who is going to make a Public Relations splash when joining our Clients Firm. We would even consider a more green behind the ears level who is making industry waves now.
I look forward to hearing from your thoughts and would welcome spending a few minutes on the phone with you.

Hard to say. Any Rock Stars out there attached to (passionate) the business world who want an intro? Happy to hook you up.

Big thanks to Paul Smalera (of the Reuters Smaleras) for noticing that Tumblroth has been running a broken image as its background for probably 5 or 6 months now. Using the broken window theory of policing, he figured that if I left my Tumblr like this, it wouldn’t be long before people were coming here to huff paint. Bad idea! So there’s a new theme and, thanks to this post, new content. Paul: hero.
