Dear fellow turkey,
IMHO it’s all about starting and maintaining a conversation. Seekers want to have as many different conversations going on as they can possibly manage. I always felt that “perception is reality”. It doesn’t matter how you get that conversation going, what illusions the other side is under, or what comes of it. You get to have a conversation with someone who will at the very least give you data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. Clearly a sliding scale of volume and value. You will gather lots of data that is mostly low value. You will gather very little wisdom and that’s high value platinum stuff.
Here’s an opportunity (free … my favorite kind) to register on a reputable site, LinkedIn, put up a profile, and get screened email. A triple play. Now who do you think will use this site for an unintended purpose? Up, I heard it in the back of the “room”. A recruiter, head hunter, search person. Looking for that thecae who’s not looking. Little do they know that you are a “turkey” setting the trap, laying in wait for them, and you will spring your trap. They think they have “found” you. And, you’ll stick like glue to them until you suck everything of value out of them before they know it. Then, if they don’t have your ideal job, then you’ll cast them aside sucked dry and feeling abused. Ahhh what power. Revenge of the turkeys. I love it.
So scoot over and fill out a profile. And, you’ll look techie besides. Even if you can’t spell Komputer.
