While I appreciated his sincerity job, I can not say that his message was designed to enable its network by spring action or to impress an employer.
Help your network to help
No matter what kind of request we make our network - our friends in three-dimensional space or our friends online - must keep in mind that we can better prepare people to help us more help we receive.
If honest job, the problem was that his message spoke of his need - the need for cash, in particular - while any kind of equipment recipients to effectively help the guy.
What - exactly - you?
This is why, when you are looking for jobs is very important to ask your friends and colleagues for specific things. "I need a job" is not an appropriate message for a group of e-mail because it says "I took four minutes that I would take you to specify the types of aid should be most useful for me now.”
What help could include an introduction from one person to a particular employer. It could be a recommendation from a Headhunter who specializes in your area of activity. It could be a reference to a future job fair or a resume writing service.
You could ask for almost anything - but can not be a cry for help bed in the form "I need a job." This message signals "I have not time to give you a certain element of Figure l. You do." Networkers call this behavior “task-shifting,” and are one of the main reasons people stopped by the network.
Be aware of what you say to the World (and employers).
Everything you write on a public platform such as a community e-mail discussion will be seen and likely passed on to others. I can not imagine that the phrase "I do not care about work, but I need to make some money" will make any employer heart beats faster.
If one of us members of the group e-mail happened to know an employer who was hiring, we could not possibly message job over it. I'm sure our job-search colleague is a good person, but an employer would not get any sense that the query that said "I do not care workers, only money."
This may be a perfectly normal human emotion - one that says "I can do all sorts of things, we just need a job", but it is a message that could seduce any employer to speak on. There is a reason I write for employers on their specific roles in our interest - not only to show that we are willing to spend some mental energy on acquiring a specific job, but also to show that I understood built protocols associated with job hunting.
