Some of them I actually answered. One answer was that the message was definitely designed to fit my profile, and that there was only a mistake with my name… I don’t know if I should believe that :D

Normally I think that I don’t want to invest more time into it, they lost me by making that mistaken anyway.

exactly. I also try to not waste more of my time on that. but sometimes the temptation of pointing out their unprofessionality is stronger :-)

You can believe if the recruiter is Polish as they have different versions for male and female surnames. For them your surname is "male" while the "female" version is be Gawlinska.

I'm aware of that - but you could still prevent it if you take a closer look at the profile. :)

Definitely. But your case is "local". Imagine a guy named Ashley or Lindsay 😁
