Hi Elise,Thank you for considering me for this position. I appreciate you for reaching out. While I am searching for a new opportunity, I would like to find a position that allows me to move upwards from my current position as a writer. The Writer position you offered sounds a little off from what I’m currently looking for. I noticed on your company’s site that there is a Content Manager role available that I would love more information about. After 3 years of experience writing under tight deadlines and pitching new ideas, this feels like the next step. Would I be able to talk to you or a colleague about the opportunity?I’ve attached my resume, so you can see my qualifications in more detail. I look forward to hearing from you!Regards,Grace Spelling
Hello Janet,Thank you for reaching out, and I’m grateful you’ve considered me for this role. I really enjoy the work I’m doing at my current company, so I am not searching for new opportunities immediately. I’ll be sure to stay in touch if something changes. However, I would still love to hear more information to see if there’s anyone I know that’s a better fit that I can recommend for the position. Let me know if you still want to discuss the role. Best wishes,Fred Rogers
Don’t be afraid to ask the recruiter some questions, too! Try to get a good feel for the job description—is this a new job that was just created, or is the recruiter looking to replace someone?[2] X Expert Source Adina Zinn, MPACertified Career & Life Coach Expert Interview. 30 March 2022.

Recruiters should be really knowledgeable about the available position and the industry they work in. Try asking them to explain the role more in-depth. If they stumble over their answer or don’t give you clear information, it could be a scam.
