And Once Again The Foot Is Place Firmly Into The Mouth. September 27 2006
ok…so remember that job I applied for?
Well Chris had an interview (just for shits and giggles) with them earlier this week for a different position (but he applied like 4 days after I did). So after not hearing a word from them again today I decided to send a follow up email, just incase my resume was somehow filitered out as spam completely ACCIDENTALLY of course.
So I sent this…
Dear Mr. So&SO:
I am writing to inquire about the status of my application for the way better position than my current one with your fabulous company . My resume was sent to you on Sept 22/2006 in response to your ad on The local paper website, on that date.
I am very interested in the position and feel that my background in administration and computer technology will be a definite asset to this position.
Please let me know if you require any further information. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Pamalamadingdong
And at about 9:45 this evening I got a reply.
And my foot took up it’s natural position, inside my mouth. (does that cause shin splints you think?)
Hi Pam. I was planning on calling you to set up an interview. I have had a death in the family so i will be a few more days.However I would like to speak to you by phone if possible tomorrow. What # and time might I call before 2:00 on Thursday.
I think this would be a good opportunity to tell him about your experience with DRUNKEN TEENAGE xxxxxx and HORNY COLLEGE GIRLS WHO WANT XXXXXX XXX and don’t forget
VIAGRA WITH @NAL F1STING.If that doesn’t work, um, just chill the heck out because your letter was very professional and he obviously thinks you might be good for the job.
I don’t think he’d be upset. I mean, you didnt’ do anything that anyone else wouldn’t have done. How could you have known about a death in the family. Good luck today Mrs dingdong…….really:-)
He’s not upset. you did the right thing, and he responded to you doing the right thing by being interested in you.
