Job Applications

At my company, we’re always looking for new help. We can go through a telemarketer quicker than , and we are nearly always receiving new e-mails for full-time positions I have posted online. Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve gotten, without fixing any grammatical mistakes (personal information removed, of course):

HELLO MY NAME IS CRUCITA IAM SENDING THIS EMAIL REGUARDING THE JOB POSITION U HAVE OPEN IAM INTERESTED IN THE JOB I DONE DID ALOT OF CUST SERVICE IN MANY PLACES I DONT HAVE A RESUME AT THE MOMENT BUT I DO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THIS POSITION I AM A MOM IN NEED OF A JOB NOW AND DAYS IS HARD BUT IAM ONE WHO U CAN CONSIDER DOING A GOOD JOB IF U CAN EMAIL ME OR CALL ME AT 000 000 0000 THANK U GOD BLESS

hi im kyle mone im 19 im interested in the job i worked at a place in florida doing online surveys for a company called protocall im good with talking on the phone i dont have a resume cause i did most of my work under the table but if hired id be there everyday and on time u can email me back or call at 000-000-0000 thanks

Those two were especially funny, but you get a fair share of just silly ones as well. The types where they don’t really give you any information to go on:

I was interested in the job posting on craigslist. I was wondering if it was still available?

I was wondering if the position for the job is still available? If so I have great references, and work experience, and also live in Farmington. I'm a college student soon to be in the fall and am highly motivated for this job.

Those two wouldn’t be so bad, they do have proper grammar, they believe in periods, and they know how to use a shift key. The only issue is the absolute LACK of any way to communicate back to them. How do they expect me to contact them if they’ve left me nothing to go on? I wonder if they sit there and act shocked when no one ends responding to their ads.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve interviewed some people with full, solid resumes who just ended up being a tease of potential, but at least they were able to get their foot in the door by sending me something to go with, and not just giving me something to mock while I go about my day.
