Unfortunately I don't think he's a troll.

Wow, the guy in CA wants me, but does me no good in PA..

But hey, he WANTS me so I am a-okay.

Good luck. Back to lurking in your threads.
Because I'm putting the resume to test and seeing if the position is open. That's why

The problem is, though, that you can't be taken seriously even when you think you're being serious. There is next to no logic in anything you say and, frankly, I have a very difficult time understanding how you even manage to get your socks on in the morning - or even if you do.

The only silliness is your assumption that it wasn't understood the first or second time around. What you say is understandable for the most part. Understanding what if any logic is there is the baffling part. You can repeat until the cows come home but the underlying problem remains where the listener/reader is concerned.

I tend to fake apply to jobs that are not in my area to test the market. You know the same thing employers do when they want to test the market and gather lots of resumes and not call anyone back.
Again, this silliness makes no sense at all. There is no logic there. How many years is it now that you've been posting? Nothing has ever sunk in and nothing ever will. The same old just keeps getting churned out year after year after year and the same dumb strategies fail to accomplish anything every time you're unemployed. What a joke.

What's not to like if you look at it logically. You're a wonderful reminder of, "there but for the grace of the Gods go I" to so many who are so thankful not to go through life in your sorry shoes. Almost 30 posts already today since you managed to crawl out of bed. Just another busy day working towards the end of unemployment ...

Yes, I can see how exhausting it must be getting up at noon and then posting on CD for two hours. Poor baby.

STT Resident, The bright side of the OP is the affect the millions like him have in improving the chances of those truly seeking to work. He is the poster child of why most resumes submitted for a position end up in the circular file. That improves the odds for those that merit serious consideration. Hopefully, some day he'll wake up, realize the employer has what he seeks, while they have dozens of hundreds or options, and he'll get past his highlight of the week being a email followed by nothing, or in a good week, a speed interview.

That was my point with my reply back on page 1 of this thread... if there is one thing I have learned in the last couple months on City Data it is that TVSG is by far the biggest troll around. The guy doesn't want to work... he wants a free ride on unemployment and it's nothing but continuous excuses and self-imposed delays when it comes to looking for a job.

Read the other thread I linked on page 1 for even more laughs... this guy goes great with coffee.

Yep... sleeps till noon then trolls these forums for hours. It's too bad he doesn't put the same effort into finding a job as he does in trolling...
