"We have reviewed you qualifications but cannot make a suitable position match at this time. We will however, keep your application on file for six months and get in touch with you if there are any opportunities available." [Oct 11/89, well-known computer company] In other words... "Please F*** Off and leave us alone you dork!" I've saved most of mine and some are quite funny. If you have a PFO that you were quite impressed with, send me the best parts (or the whole thing is even better) and I'll collect and post them to misc.jobs.misc later. I don't care if you send the company name or not, but it would add to the humor. Any additional info such as phone calls or meetings which would help explain the context of the letter are also encouraged. Send them to eastick@gw.ccie.utoronto.ca or uunet!utai!gw.ccie!eastick -- Doug Eastick eastick@me.UTORONTO.BITNET UUCP: ...!utai!me!eastick eastick@me.utoronto.ca
