No, raelly.

Mistakes I am glad to have caught:

"I am an excellent communicator in both written and spoken Englis"

And HUGE thanks to alltheleaves for her help in reading the covering letter.

Lol! I very nearly sent an application to York last year that said how much I would like to join the "vibrant research community at Sheffield". Lose.

"But, since they won't have me, York'll have to do..."

[carmine-rose.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly! "Employ me in this depressed job market! You're my second choice!"

This is my nightmare for job apps - I sometimes CTRL+F the last five places I applied to check I haven't accidentally offered to support the high standard of teaching at a totally different institution.

I once saw an application from someone who claimed to be an excellent porrfreader. It's easily done...

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

I like that one!

Oops!

:-D

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

So close...

oops.

[teenagelogic.livejournal.com]

Can't post a comment, I'm laughing too hard.

Re: oops.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

At least it was fixed!

[alltheleaves.livejournal.com]

I had to go back and check that it wasn't in the version you'd sent me, otherwise so much for my help!

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

No, this was from me trying to add things in!

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

This is why I never put that I have an eye for detail. That guarantees there are silly mistakes in either letter or CV or both!

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

I could always have said that the fact that it was still clear what I meant even with a typo was proof that I communicated excellently.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Yes! Even your typos have an admirable clarity.

I'd hire you on the spot!

[whatho.livejournal.com]

You do speak Englis like no-one else I've ever heard.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

And my written Englis is beyong compraision.

[cakesy.livejournal.com]

OH. The other day I noticed that I'd sent out a covering letter saying I was very excited about a job because I was already a brilliant proofreader and I was interest in broadening my "reasearch" skills. Weirdly enough, I didn't get a response.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

The extra "a" is for AWESOME!

[spiralsheep.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[aldenmacrae.livejournal.com]

This made me LOL.
