How NOT To Apply for a Job
I regularly use Gumtree.com to find temporary workers, such as promotional staff. Occassionally, I also use it to find full time employees for my workplace, however this post relates to the former.
Recently, I placed an advert for leaflet distribution staff, which is a minimum wage job in my opinion. I asked simply for some personal details, their availability and any previous experience. Here’s the worst yet funniest reply I’ve had…

This is 100% genuine, I’ve only edited the telephone number. Now I appreciate it is a minimum wage job but I didn’t realise that translated into discarding grammar, punctuation and manners!
