Yesterday I was sent an email concerning an American company who had found my CV on some jobs site then sent me a completely innappropriate job offer for a Junior Accounts position. Having looked at their website , they have an office in London and are trying to garner interest whilst at the same time coming over as Jonny big bollocks.
For those who would just occasionally like to chops off at some faceless entity, here is my reply:
Mark ,
Thanks for the information . If you remember from your badly worded message yesterday, I have not sent you a resume. In fact, you found it on a fairly downmarket website which you admitted. Why you are acknowledging receipt of said document baffles me ?
I see you think I would be interested in a Junior Accounts position . I wonder what part of my CV would allude to this, being as I'm currently working in Sales, enjoy the career stream and stated I am looking to move into Recruitment.
Perhaps you didn't analise(sic) my skills or indeed paragon(?) them to your specification as you so mystifyingly pronounced yesterday. Whatever it is that your appalling grasp of English believes that means?
I have neither the time or the inclination to jump through the hoops of your selection process as my qualifications are evident from my Curriculum Vitae. I hesitate to complete a form that presumes I may have a zip or a State
Screen what you like, select who you will , carefully consider whatever lights your candle . I for one am underwhelmed by this opportunity to go to the bottom of the career ladder that you so graciously offer.
Lastly, thank you for your co-operation, whilst perhaps sounding business like to your underdeveloped sense of courtesy is unfortunately a phrase I last recall Robocop saying. A small point I admit but ending your correspondence with phrases cribbed from a tax bill will ensure they conjure the same feelings.
All the best
I think I sound a bit precious but it passed an otherwise dull afternoon. I can picture the bloke in his office getting irate and muttering," God damn Limey faggit ****"
