I just got an application at work today, and this is who it was from.

*for the record, not a JOB application. this person is not even the applicant, but the 3rd party submitting on the behalf of said applicant* :noway:

    Very nice!

    That's why you always make a professional sounding name/e-mail--just for this type of occasion. Seriously, I process customer parts orders for my company and contained in someone's e-mail address is, I kid you not, "catman69"

    Just representing his company the only way he knows how, I guess. Keep on keeping on, Catman69.

    Was it from a midget porn company? That would at least make sense.

    I'm a recruiter for a staffing agency and this was on the bottom of a resume I received:

    Personal Interests
    I am an avid animal lover. I have a tiny brown chihuahua named
    Phoebe. She weighs 3 lbs and fits in my purse. I take her everywhere
    with me, when I can. I love to tell stories about our adventrues together.
    A good one is when she almost got carried away by a hawk.

    That's hilarious! I got one from a subcontractor once that made me shake my head, but of course I can't remember it now.

    nope, it was from a car dealership!

    Is this the type of car they sell?

    Ahh, could still make sense actually. Midget racing, midgets are a type of open wheel race car.

    So if this person doesn't get the job, does he or she retain a lawyer and sue for discrimination due to 'midget love'?

    professionalism can be difficult in my field.

    I work with disadvantaged adults in helping them attain a higher level of education.

    However I had an application from a young gentleman where in his email contact the words player, 69, and number 1 were all featured in some form.

    He also left three numbers to be contacted at. When I called the numbers to verify his information and course desires, I happened upon three very angry "ex" ladies two of whom were VERY angrily pregnant.....ALL of them suspecting I was lady number 4 trying to track him down....

    it was.....interesting.

    this is not the applicant's information... it's the "submitter's" information from the business that sent it

    Well, in that case...

    That's why you always make a professional sounding name/e-mail--just for this type of occasion.


    Seriously! I had our (now) 19 y/o do that when she was 17 and applying for jobs, these days most applications are done online and request your email address. I explained that forever16@xxxx.com is not the best email address to apply for jobs with. Last kid at home will be 15 tomorrow and wants to start looking for a little part-time job and she's already set up a more "professional" sounding email address.

    But. The company I work for does abstracting (title research), the majority of our clients are title companies and/or title attorneys. I'm FREQUENTLY shocked by the unprofessional emails I receive and many times they are requests sent by phone and it's quite obvious auto-correct stepped in but they didn't READ before they hit send.

    Smdh...
