Well as you know I’m on the job hunt. To date I've made 10 applications, had 2 rejections and 2 interviews the balance, I've yet to receive a response. So with the Madhouse playing with “Foot in Mouth” . . I wondered if perhaps I’d written something weird on the cover letters, put something silly in my Resume or said something stupid in the interview . . .it has been 15 years since I did a job interview!
It’s a tough market and I’ve only just started really going for it in earnest so, before I get depressed about the lack of jobs in my wage bracket or the frustration of registering with agencies and trawling online, I decided to look at the bright side with examples of inclusions in cover letters that demonstrate opening mouth and inserting foot!
I’ve had sex jobs in the past five years I would like to re-enter the pubic service I am talk, dark and very good looking so when you meet me you will definitely employ me
God fearing
Please do not think that I have jumped from job to job from the 15 jobs I listed. I just get itchy feet and need change.

Baino... thanks for the laugh! So sorry that you are having to do the job hunt. It can be bloodly stressful, but I'm sure you won't go hungry and all will be well soon.
Don't plan on depression... it's mostly just a waste of good time in the sunshine.
take care
love your blog
best wishes Ribbon :-)
Job interviews are a lot like first dates. You have to meet a bunch of strangers and convince them that you are worthy of their time. Can often be awkward. This is a very funny post and I hope it gets you work--or , at the very least, a date.
"I procrastinate, especially when the task is unpleasant"... so you found me out then Tsup*!*
Look on the bright side Baino, the ones who haven't had the courtesy to respond are probably crappy employers.
Ribbon, I've been applying for a few Pubic Service jobs. Just hope I spelled it right! Nah, not depressed, it's just so time consuming.
I thought the first one went particularly well Rhonda but haven't heard anything since. Well if I can't work, I need a rich date!
Tsup*!* Tsup*!* . . .(thank you for the lovely card it was so well timed, I might have sent the thank you to you're other half's email!)
Actually Bimbimbie, most don't 'close' until next Friday but there's a distinct lack of stuff in this week's market.
Right, I'm off to redeem last year's mother's day voucher for a massage only I'm trading it in for some micro-dermabrasion - has to be a post there somewhere!
I take it this list is your current resume? (Reads again.) Okay you're hired. Start whenever you like. Tomorrow would be good, but if it doesn't suit, perhaps next week?
*removes tongue from cheek and wanders away*
P.S. At interviews insist they inform you if your application is unsuccessful. Give them a time frame for this. That way you know which ones to cross off your list and which ones to keep pursuing.
And people wonder why they don't get interviews! As you say, if some of your competition is that standard, you should land a job fairly quickly. Love the idea of maturity leave - that must be what I'm taking at the moment!
LOL - some good ones there :D
I've got my fingers & toes crossed for you x
I'm on extra maturity leave! Does that make me good wine or old smelly cheese?
Good luck with the hunt!
lol. hopefully they are my competition as well. sending up prayers for your job hunt. have been at it for about 3 months now. it will happen soon.
I can't decide which is the most hilarious. I'm leaning toward the classic "marital status: often / children: various." Seriously that's Dorothy Parker-esque.
I'm rooting for you!
Lol
This is really tough I know,job interviews and all the rest.I wish you the best of luck.Don't give up.
Have a nice day
Ha ha some of those are GOLD!
I read a similar one about slightly confused statements in court and they're better still...
In my previous, pre-child life, I was responsible for interviewing candidates for various positions, and some of the letters and e-mails I received were unbelievable. Then there was the candidate who called 45 minutes AFTER his scheduled interview to tell us he would be late. He had the audacity to ask for a new interview appointment. We said no, and he was astonished.
Good luck with your job search!
Oh dear! That was funny and fun to read lol
I like your way of thinking and am sure that something good will come your way soon! You have a great sense of humour and that is one of the best qualities in a person (at least for me:)!
Good luck and have a great day!
xoxo
Yep River, I'm onto that. One of the interviews was advertised internally(I was given a heads up by someone who works there) and doesn't actually close until 8th May. So if I'm unsuccessful, I've asked them to let me know why.
Nick I've been hiring and firing myself for a while and you wouldn't believe what people put in their cover letters. I mean why would a macrobiotic engineer want to be a receptionist?
Thanks Miladysa, methinks it's going to be a long haul. Recession et al
GM - definitely a nice aged Grange!
Two horrible peas in a horrible pod ey Brian. No fun is it? Good luck to you too!
Leah I dodge the personal stuff frankly. It's not obligatory on CV's so best left unsaid.
Nah, still at it Candie. Worst comes to worst, I'll temp for a while if I haven't anything by June
Terence, do share . . .post 'em!
Hokgardener, I know, I've had some doozies in my life . .the cover letter is usually their opening or death knell depending on what's in it.
Oh yeah Marianna . . .I just need a boss with one too!
Whatever happens good luck. Job searching is an humbling experience.
Baino, thanks...I needed that :) Took a look at the want ads out west and n-o-t-h-i-n-g. Well there was a job as a bronc buster but I'm way out of practise...not to mention the poor rate of payment! Cheer up luv, something's got to give sooner or later( I'm hoping sooner ) ;)
TCL that it is . . especially when you're an old fart! Easy for you young things to go pootling off around the world and slip into something comfortable when you get back and need some cash! Enjoy it youngling! You won't be able to do it forever!
Welcome back Subby, good you're safe and sound. Yep, tough times apparently unless you're a "Contracts Administrator", "Engineer" or an auditor or accountant. Then with Government spending on infrastructure, there's a swag of jobs for would you believe "Policy Makers" . .hmmm and I thought that's what politicians did!
Baino, thanks! 'Tis a bleak out-look, pretty much every-where one goes. If it weren't for the taxes on everything, I'da moved back out west...and I won't start on the policy making, here...I'll spare you that, at least...g'day!
I had a comment and then grannymar made me spit my wine all over the keyboard!
Back later!!!!
Slob! Shouldn't be drinking near your computer . . do as I say, not as I do!
weil hell, wiht a rayzumay liek dat, no reson yer cain't start atta top n wirk yer wai doon ;) lol
no doubt you'll be hired in Hollywood Sandy

AMAZING TESTIMONY..After being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could also need the help of the spell caster of CURE TO ALL KIND OF SICKNESS LIKE HIV AIDS,CHILD BARENESS, LOVE , MONEY,PROTECTION, GOOD JOB,PROMOTION, EX LOVER BACK, WIN LOTTERY LOTTO SPELLS,LOTTERY SPELL,JACKPOT win on either a scratch off ticket, MONEY VOODOO SPELLS, CONTACT Dr Oduma all your pains will be over today on his email drodumaspellhome1@gmail.com
