Pet Peeve
One of my pet peeves are those who tell little about themselves or what they are looking for and then expect someone to write them the perfect introduction. Not likely to happen for those folks. And then there are the ones that use subjective phrase that can't be matched like: Mr. Perfect, the right one, my shining knight in armour and such. Then they can't figure out why they always hear from the wrong type.
It's hard enough to try to describe yourself objectively, but to do it when you have no idea if you are what they are looking for is hit and miss at best. Your chance of a hit are almost 0. You can be the perfect match but if you fail to mention one or 2 key items that they want to hear, but haven't bothered to mention, then you come off sounding like the wrong type. If you want to be succefull at meeting the right type of people then tell enough about yourself, what you what and what you are looking for so they have a chance of finding you.
