From the other Director of absolute appointments on Monday Morning:
Please forward your CV by return and we will call you for an initial telephone interview.
Claire and Simon respectively, there.
Schoolboy error, they are a recruitment company, and I have already decided not to apply to agencies. But they have both got back to me so...
Hmm.
Foxtons are looking for an image retoucher. That sounds a bit wrong to me.
I first encountered this lot on the 13th November last year, and have been trying to avoid being employed by them ever since.
Dear Harriet
I noted your advert in the Guardian dated 29/09/07.
I appreciate that I am a bit late in applying, but I would like to apply anyway.
This is in spite of the fact that I have no Photoshop skills, no knowledge of Quark Express, Illustrator or Acrobat.
I have attached my CV for your perusal and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
Ian Carpenter
Quietroom want a copywriter.
'Quietroom writes copy, produces video and delivers training and communication consultancy to major financial companies and the Government. We're based in North London and need a witty copywriter who:
Likes making complicated things simple
Understands detail but always asks if we really need it
Wants a long term relationship not a holiday romance'
Dear all at Quietroom.
I have been applying for every job in the Guardian dated 29/09/07.
I came across your advert this evening, and I have to say it is the best job advert that I have encountered on my journey. Well done!
I would like to apply for the position, and have attached my CV for your perusal.
Kind regards
Ian Carpenter
Anyway, I received the onion money from Barry by Pay Pal. He has decided that the money should go to cancer research. I think this is quite fitting, as we have already lost the chain smoking spider to cancer only last year.
