That was pretty funny. Especially the part about the guy sending creepy letters. Really bad move on his part.

Well -- at least the missing piece in the team's puzzle worked - I can see something like that in some fields - but not all. It all depends on who is doing the hiring, if they are looking for creativity, then off-the-wall stuff might work.

I'm looking for work in the Allied Health Field - Phlebotomist (newly minted) and those suggestions would get you a visit from the local constabulary and trip to the funny farm.
