O.K., Is this really necessary? Am I just being grouchy because I haven't had enough coffee or sleep? I will admit to mocking my share of submitted resumes in my day. (My favorite was the applicant with "experience in pubic relations." But it's one thing to be snide in the privacy of your office with only your equally snide coworkers to bear witness. It's another thing to display your snideness to the world and would-be applicants. (Though perhaps it also warns them what they're getting into)
Please note: If you send a resume, we won’t read it. We won’t even open it. We will file your application under ‘can’t follow simple instructions’. In order to apply, please send an e-mail without any attachments, that answers these questions:
1. Name address, phone, email
2.Why are you the best candidate for this job?
(50 words max.)
What will you bring to this great workplace that will enhance it?
(50 words max.)
4. Useful education and experience
(50 words max.)
Please respect the word restrictions. As you can imagine, we will likely get a bucket load of applicants and can’t spend more than a few moments per applicant. Be honest, direct and give it your best shot. Be daring. If you ramble on, we will be forced to file you under ‘still can’t follow simple instructions’. So far we haven’t opened those files in about 5 years except to add more long-winded applicants to them.
Sheesh.
