I get IMs fairly frequently from people looking for jobs as land sales reps. I can live with that. I’m not a complete ogre and I even occasionally end some sentences with smiley faces. See, I have a nice streak. Today I encountered one such “applicant” who did not really handle himself so well. See for yourself. Note, his name was not actually ‘Ego Maniac’ (as fitting as that might have been) that is my new pet name for him!

Ego Maniac: i need a job dude can i cum work for u
Josue Habana: Hey there!
Josue Habana: We’re not taking on at the moment unfortunately, but I will keep your name and drop you the relevant info as soon as we’re recruiting again.
Ego Maniac: no i need job now.
Josue Habana: Right, well then you best look elsewhere. Good luck
Ego Maniac: dude i can totaly sell your houses
Josue Habana: I don’t sell houses?
Ego Maniac: well wot u sell in real estate
Ego Maniac: i can sell it for u.
Josue Habana: Land.
Josue Habana: and like I said, we’re good for the moment thanks.
Ego Maniac: u makin mistake not hirin me i am amazing
Ego Maniac: give me a chance fuck dude give me a chance
Josue Habana: Interesting use of the word ‘amazing’.
Josue Habana: Try slprofiles.com. There’s a job section there
Ego Maniac: no fuck this man u wont give me a try
Ego Maniac: noone will give me try
Josue Habana: Gee, I wonder why.

This was followed by a series of delightfully colourful language and a quick click on the mute button. Interesting way to apply for a job though, don’t you think? I wonder how he approaches RL employers!
