Ynee, stamping, is fun, isn't it? Stamp! Stamp! Stamp! How's the Dot who's not a dot anymore? :)
Ray, no, o have to be a woman, and you have to be younger than me.
Charles, yes, and a fine assistant you are, too!
Meanwhile, I'm going to be quietly sobbing in a corner because I've just gone through te last batch of applicants. Here are exerpts of some of their cover letters:
"I have ran through your ads to fill an Administrative position in your company. I have the interest to apply for the said job." -- *sob*
"On the attached file is a copy of my resume. I hope you would have the time to review it. If an interview is to take place please contact me on the mobile number listed." -- If an interview is to take place? Am I hiring my boss?
"Looking forward for your response." -- Not.
"Feel free to contact me if I may pass the qualifications..." -- What. Ever.
"With above average communication skills on English and Filipino (written and verbal)" -- Yup. I believe ya.
"Career Objectives:
I would like to be gainfully employed in a position that will be most appropriate in my field and to further enhance my knowledge and skills through my experience.
Key Qualifications:
Easy to relate with different people, fast learner and hardworking, computer literate, have a confident disposition , have a good communication skills and willing to work under minimum supervision." -- Did that make your head hurt as much as it did mine?
"A position in your company that would able to practice my field of endeavor and gain first-hand experience committed to serve the company and be lucrative on my chosen career as well." -- so i's the position, and not you that's going to be working? Among other things?
"To pursue a suitable position where I may possibly engage my abilities and be competent in whatever field I will be designated in contributing underlying company’s goal." - I think I'm going for a short lie-down now.
I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that gets really, really frustrating. *quiet sobs*
