[email protected]?

Babe, what was the one that you got from the guy who attached a plastic fork to his application??

"I want this job so bad I can taste it"
That was hilarious!

Re: Dear Job Applicant,

My husband once interviewed a guy for a job. He had some reservations but he figured he would give him a chance. When he called his cell phone, the message was, "Sorry I didn't take your call. It's not that I'm busy. It's just that I don't want to talk to your sorry a$$!" Hubby just hung up and went to the next name on the list.

Re: Dear Job Applicant,

People are sooooo dumb. Like it's that hard to make up another, more professional email address FOR FREE when looking for a job.

I'd address the letter to Scrumptious Bum.

Re: Dear Job Applicant,

The email address thing is so stupid. I remember in college they made a big deal about it and any time I've done tutoring or admissions stuff with students and they've had wacky emaila ddresses I've told them to get a more professional email address. i mean honestly. I don't care if it's not entirely professional when i hire people..I have someone who is zipposomething, and other random things, but a phrase like that is just absurdly stupid. Who does that?


I have an interesting job applicant story.

My territory is HUGE so after doing the phone interview, we have remote people who perform in-person interviews and report back to us. My co-worker was dealing with this woman who interviewed before Christmas. The interviewer told her he felt she did really well, etc (he's not supposed to give them an answer), and she called up a few weeks later (it was the holidays so we didn't get to her right away) assuming she was hired. My co-worker told her she's not hired, she actually has to go through the training process before she is officially hired. Candidate was apparently really turned off and insulted by this?? It makes no sense because the interview/training process is very clearly spelled out in the phone interview... So my co-worker told her we are working out a training schedule and we'll get back to her (we are..it's hard to set these things up remotely). Fast forward to last week, I get this incredibly nasty message from the candidate saying she's being jerked around and she is very upset and she's writing a letter to the corporate office, etc etc. I was like .

So yesterday I opened mail addressed to my co-worker (she wasn't in and I was waiting for something addressed to her), and the candidate wrote this incredibly nasty letter talking about the above and calling my co-worker out, etc etc.

I read the letter aloud to the office for some amusement and said "oh yeah, I'm just aching to hire you now!"

Granted it took us awhile to get back to her, but use some common sense! Other candidates in the same situation politely call or email and ask about the status, she gave usa whole diatribe. There is NO way we can hire her now.

Stupid lady.

Re: Dear Job Applicant,

I'm a high school guidance counselor and college admission counselor and I cannot tell you the number of times I had to remind students to make up a new simple email address - when I was on the receiving end of the applications at the college, we got so so many apps. with emails addresses filled in with things like sexyb1tch69@... from 17 year old kids!!!!

Re: Dear Job Applicant,

What if I really do have a scrumptious bum?
