I have just received this email:
"Dear James,
Temporary Clerical Assistant Accommodation.
I wish to thank you for your application for the above post. Due to the large number of applications for this we have just completed short-listing.
I am sorry on this occasion you have not been unsuccessful in your application. However, may I take this opportunity to wish you luck in finding suitable employment shortly.
Regards,
Geraldine"
It clearly states that my application was not unsuccessful. Now, if MATH111-Logic has taught me anything, it's that
not not successful = successful.
Of course I realise from the rest of the message that two wrongs don't make a right and I didn't get the job. However, just in case it was a test to make sure only the best people were offered the placement, I replied to point out the mistake. A minute later I had another email at the top of my inbox telling me that it should indeed have said "not successful".
Not put off by this I asked for a job as a proofreader.
This was the reply:
"Hi James,
I like your style, I was just in such a hurry don’t like to keep people hanging on to long for an answer!
I really do wish you all the best in finding something shortly.
Best wishes,
Geraldine"
It should probably say "too long".
:D
ReplyDeleteI love you.
Sad that you didn't get the job though!
