Somebody wants a job, I think

[cookiemonster]

I have a side business of doing yard work and I have an ad in the local paper. I get a text today and this is what it said.
Ha how u dn im lookn fr job my name is john n if its avaible please call me

I asked him what job then politely told him no than you.


Is this how people apply for jobs now?

And he probably speaks worse than he types.

 

[CEHollier]

What his main business? English tutor?

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that's my 19 y/o son who text that...

I swear, that's the only way they know how to communicate these days...

I don't know about this one?!? That texting lingo is what it is. I have no clue about how they do it and why.

I would agree that they may talk worse than they type if it were me you were using as an example, but I guarantee you I type with more diction than when I speak. My New Orleans drawl is really ugly.

So this kid, if he's like my kid, may really be smart as a whip and have better diction and pronunciation than his dad, but only not know the "old school" rules we still abide by. After all, the "texting" craze is really in its infancy.

That's funny! You should see the crap this "Siri" kicks out for my stupid nearly incoherent "Who Dat" speak!

There's a big difference between text message abbreviations and that thumb diarrhea you received.

Give the man a shot.Your doing yard work so it's not like he'll be sitting behind a computer or answering phones.

Imagine having an English degree and not being able to GET a job!!!!

Though, I've heard some of those Liberal Arts graduates do work at McDonald's.

Dude....what did you expect? A Harvard grad?

Well, on second thought, I guess that's not too far out of reach now days.

 

[Cochise]

What really ticks me off is that I bet that dumbass will probably find a job before I do......

I'm not even advertising for a help wanted ad. I'm trying to get more work. Lol

When you do hire, I'd like a company truck and per diem...I take lunch at different times and for different amounts of time. I do text at work but only if it's important.

I don't like to sweat and grass cuttings make me break out so I'll need special clothing and procedures.

Are your mowers air conditioned ?

I recently graduated from Normans Skool of Grass and will make you a top notch employee

I don't speak english, my niece is typing for me so you'll need to make arangments for that, like if I need to text at work she'll need to be with me.

Yeah, there have been a lot of liberal arts grads lately, and the pizza delivery job market has really dried up.
