I got a job listing reply this morning for our company’s opening, the title of which read:
- “Western Willamette Web Wizard Wishes Work”
How goddamn ridiculous is that? Does this guy really think alliteration is going to get me to sit up and take notice? I’m supposed to be like “Shit! This guy sure knows how to use words that start with ‘W’! Let’s give him a shot!”
And then the first line of the body of the email is:
- “Is your company looking for a Cyberspace Cyberace?”
A cyberspace cyberace? Huh? What the hell does that mean? Who does this guy think he is? Myself, I would have spelled it “cyber-ace,” for clarification, cause whenever I look at it fast, i think he’s talking about some kind of “cyber race” and that also makes no sense.
Never once have I thought to use ridiculous wordplay to land myself a job. I mean, this guy is really only a hop, skip and a jump away from having sent me a limerick describing his “wise and whimsical web wizardry.”
