APPLICATION FOR ANY SUITABLE POST

I was reading Mathew's post and later saw this mail. First I thought it's a funny forward, but apparently it's a real application and his resume is also attached!!!
It's been sent to 320 recipients, all in the To list.

So here is the mail that I got as it is for your kind prusal and hope he here from u soon.

Dear Sir

Please find attached my detailed resume for your kind prusal.

Presently Iam working with Namaskar Travel, Murgab, Kuwait as a Messenger

Hope to here from you soon.

Thanking you

Very truly your
***** *****
Tel: ######


And and excerpt from the resume


OBJECTIVE:
Long-term or permanent, progressive position with an organization where present skills can be expanded upon and professional growth is the result of demonstrated ability. Presently Working in Kuwait.


I wouldn't have felt so weird if the person was not qualified enough. But apparently he is an automobile engineer. Is our educational system so bad?

congrats! u can start consulting business now!

on a serious note ... i've been getting these kinds of mails too, but mostly from freshers looking for their first break. not sure why this guy found it difficult to get a job ... not getting a job can be a very frustrating experience!

Nice,

Out of curiosity, i tried finding meaning of 'prusal' ( I know it is misspelled it is perusal. I found first link on web i.e., answers.com is your blog :) :) :)

This is common may bcoz people are running, technology is ruining...

Comment on education system appears little heavy here ;)

lol!
funny... prusal, here from you ...

objective- reminded me how i was shocked to see something similar on a friends' resume, totally on professional lines till i took 5 minutes to make sense out of it and another 5 minutes to figure out it was just a khichdi of words!

:D there's something an ex-team mate said when people were tearing blank pages out of his scribble pad. He said : No more tear sheeting!
