Roberta Gets a Job Offer

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Good Afternoon Roberta,

My name is Gibby Maramis and I am one of the recruiter for CoWorx Staffing Services in Dover, NH. We are currently recruiting for a business development (lead generation) position. I would love the opportunity to talk to you about this position further. Please call us back at (603) 834-6002!

Thank you so much,

Gibby Maramis
Account Manager
40 Chestnut Street, Suite 2B
Dover NH 03820

I’m assuming this is a template email, so the fact there are grammatical errors in it is even more awesome. Anyway, I was feeling pretty cranky at the airport waiting for my flight when I wrote my response, perhaps I was too harsh given the fact she is probably a recent college grad who hates her life already? Maybe she will find the sarcasm amusing? I’m guessing she doesn’t even read all of it and quickly moves on with her life.

I’m not sure who Roberta is but I sure hope this position is still available despite the fact my name is actually Robert and I’m a male! It sounds awesome! Can you give me more details? I’ve always wanted a job in the middle of nowhere New Hampshire instead of downtown Boston where I currently live and work. And how did you know I totally want to leave my high tech security consulting position for entry level sales?? I’ve been dying to ditch my stock options, flexibly hours and nearly infinite supply of learning experiences for a chance to cold call my ass off all day. You’re sourcing must be exceptional and very carefully coordinated.

Can you please tell me how CoWorx (<– the intentional misspelling with the x is awesome, totally speaks to me and my extreme nature plus relates to my generation’s intolerance for complete sentences and general grammatical malice!) got my information so I can make sure to completely wipe my name from that database?

K thx bai!

-Rob (erta)

Okay I admit my ranking is somewhat arbitrary and completely subjective and possibly based on nothing. Anyway, Katie dug this up and though the research paper may not be indicative of where you are in life currently, you can pretty much replace that with anything productive at all.
