<DIV>I once had someone pick up and fill out an application while wearing a
bathing suit. I never saw the person, but between the time the person
asked for the application and it reached my desk, I had heard from at least 4
separate staff members about her. I also once asked a person applying for
a treasurer’s position “Is there any reason you wouldn’t pass a criminal
background check?” The response: “I’ve never even set foot in a jail, well
except to visit my friends.” And, I once had someone answer on the
application form “Why did you leave previous position?” with “too close to
boss” I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I was sure that I wasn’t going to
give an interview to find out!</DIV>

<DIV>I agree. Reminds me of the cover letter I received for a ref
librarian. "I would love to join the staff at Washtenaw Community College
and would be an asset". I've often thought I'd like to write up a list of dos ad
don'ts for people applying for jobs. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If it says no phone calls, do not call.</DIV>
<DIV>If it says electronic submissions, do not mail a hard copy.</DIV>
<DIV>When interviewing, do not tell me how you hated your last boss and how mean
everyone was to you.</DIV>
<DIV>Do not arrive late dressed for an alt rock concert</DIV>
