Is unemployment due to lack of jobs or lack of semi-intelligent humans?
You really have to wonder how passionate someone is about the job application above (Yep! Part of a REAL submission from this area) submitted to us via Facebook. As you can see, we have taken our Sister-Aniceta-Get-This-Write-Or-I’ll-Kill-You-Then-Pray-For-YOUR-Soul-And-My-Forgiveness red-ink CORRECTION PEN to it. Unless this is a 12-year old applying for a spot as a Santa’s Helper, it’s a sad commentary.
So looky here, we’re no job recruiter specialists but, unless you’re applying to be a writer for www.YaJagoff.com, don’t submit this for ANY job. For crisssakes, you’re already on the computer, go plagiarize a resume from some recruiter website. As an FYI, if you ARE submitting a resume to us, please know that we prefer pictures in the sentences, such as substituting a picture of an EYE for the letter i.
I say, bring this person in, put them through an interview, then give them a math test, a #2 pencil and a box of crayons. If they use the crayons and stick their tongue out the side of their mouth while they’re writing and ask for a “Good Boy/Girl” Sticker and a chance to take the test home to put on their refrigerator, well… you know.
If this thing was submitted as a joke, I want to hire you!
If this is a serious submission, I would suggest that a proper formal written response would be, “Thank you very much for your submission. While we recieve submissions from many qualified applicants, we recieved very few from dum @#$’s like you. We do not believe that you’re ready for human interaction just yet so please take 3 steps straight back into the pond and come back out in about 50 years once you’re brain is better developed and the majority of your body hair is gone, Ya Jagoff!

This reminds me of a story… Almost 40 years ago, at my first corporate job, I had to take English writing classes sponsored by the company. That’s because my education was in French and management wanted my reports in English to be perfect. At the first class, the professor asked for copies of poor business writing. While blocking names and content, the memo I brought in was declared the worst she ever read. It was from the CEO. In other words, poor writing has nothing to do with running a Fortune 10 company. Sad, but true.
Oh, this stuff drives me crazy. I just had this discussion with my husband today. It’s amazing how many people actually passed English 101 and went on to adulthood to infest social media platforms and self published books with their horrendous grammar, spelling and typos. Okay, so I’m a Grammar Nazi. I cop to it. lol
Linda. Thanks for stopping in to read and comment. The bad news is, if you look at my blog posts, they probably have just as many typos. Thankful for proof readers.
