Work in Progress II

I send out letters to clients almost daily that contain current job openings and instructions on how to apply. If one is interested in the job, he/she can apply. If not, he/she can toss my letters in the trash. It's something I do as a courtesy to our customers, to give them a little help in their job search. It seems easy, right? Yet how many people would you think have issue with my letters? SEVERAL. Let me elaborate with a few example of the different types of customers I deal with...


The Unnecessary Pop-In

Someone gets sent a letter and instead of calling in or perhaps just reading the letter itself, they decide to take a trip on down to my office. Then they summon me to explain the letter that I have mistakenly written in gibberish - oops! My bad! Oh wait, no, that's English.

ENGLISH M****RF****R DO YOU SPEAK IT!? -Samuel L.

Thinks I'm a Psychic
A customer walks into our office and says one of two statements - "Someone sent me a letter" or "They sent me over here"...and that's it. We are fully expected to know who "someone" is, what letter they sent, who "They" could be, and why "They" sent you here...

The Dumbshit

Even though the method of application is clearly stated on each letter, there are still those who need it spelled out for them. These are the kind of people who make me feel like The Dumbshit for referring them to a job in the first place. For these people, I just ask that you don't mention my name when you apply.

These are only 3 of the many different types of people I deal with, stick around for more.
