Recruitment managers don't want your text
messages
People are getting us to more communication strategies, but
these don't work in the real world and the communication misfires resulting in
lost of opportunity. Text messaging, e-mails using text-lingo and messages sent
via mobile devices with smiley face emoticons or invitations from MySpace and
Facebook are not appropriate. For those in authority such methods of
communication come over as disrespectful.
To
the "Text Generation" this is an after-interview courtesy, but to an executive hiring manager
this comes across as insincere, rushed, and a little shallow or simply
bewildering.
Invitations from Facebook to be a 'friend' is not the
level of intimacy you can assume with someone you met only long enough to
interview you. One day this will change but your job hunting requires you to put
yourself in the best light of a hiring manager.
