Work for a bb and am wondering what some of you other folks do. Recently I've been getting a lot more emails from college folks or random people, normally I'll answer and network with them whatever. Some have only emailed me asking me to forward their resumes and get in touch with hr. Some of those are great candidates. How do some of you handle that?
I normally have just ignored them but curious about others

if all they ask is for you to fwd their resumes, i'd ignore those emails.
what about if you receive auto-forward request emails from students at your alma mater? Is this also an auto-ignore?
Someone who just emails you saying "put me in contact with HR/fwd my resume" doesnt sound like someone who deserves that favor.
Hey bro's, I'm a recent grad looking to break in. I haven't actually started messaging anybody I don't know yet, just my actual friends. How do you guys recommend getting the job done? I mean how can I come across the right way and get my résumé in front of hr? Thanks for any advice
by not addressing people as "bro's"
my apologies for asking advice on an anonymous blog. I had no idea I was addressing Mr. Henry Kravis
What if I use these as a teaching lesson? No worse then telling people what to do on here
Idk, I would guess your free time is too valuable to teach someone a lesson. If it was someone you genuinely had a relationship with and they were lost, then yea , go ahead and teach them the proper way to do it. But complete stranger emailing and saying "hey forward this" just says to me, "damn, this guy didnt even bother researching on how to go about networking or care enough to have a chat with me first". At the end of the day its up to you.
Lol it was a valid question though, and I even said "thank you" in advance
We all know what your going for make a relationship first
