New Receptionist
We have an opening for a new receptionist here at our office. No, I am not looking for people to hire. That’s being taken care of already, but I thought I’d share with you the lighter side of some of these applications. All of these applications are being sent via email, and since I can read everyone’s email at work, I get to see these applications.

Did this girl not check before she sent her email? That’s completely ridiculous. I saw the reply that went out via email and our office manager addressed her as Anastasia even though she indicated a different name in the body of the email. Hilarious! Also, why are you not using a GMail address?
“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom tomake mistakes” Gandhi
I copied that right off the email. That’s just great. You put a quote on your email to make yourself look informed and educated, but look at the quote! You’re telling us you are going to make mistakes? That’s probably not the best way to introduce yourself to a possible employer. Also, it looks like she could use a spell checker. Last my spell checker and I checked, “tomake” was two words.
I never received directions to your office. Could you send those or call me with the address and I’ll MapQuest it.
Sorry, we use Google Maps here. Don’t bother coming in for your interview.
Sorry i missed your call i’m at work…
There we go. Tell us you are interested in jumping ship from your current job. That always instills great confidence in your commitment. Idiot.

I don’t get the anastacia one?
There was a guy who interviewed with us, and his name was Herb Gardener, haha. “After you’re done interviewing him, please pass him to the left hand side”.

That’s awesome. Remind me to tell you stories about JJ at some point. And actually, some of the resumes we received are even better.
Although interrupting and then hanging up on a client (in a call you’re not even a part of) is up there…
