Job Hunting



Mock Resume: Dear Editor,

This is in reference to your advertisment citing a dearth of personnel for your daily newspaper. I wish to apply for a post in your staff. Following paragraph describes what my job should entail and my qualifications for each.

I would like to join your team as a reviewer. I would start of the week by reviewing the latest gadgets, move on to the latest hotspots, coffee shops or eateries in the city. By midweek, i would be reviewing the latest XBoX 360, PS3 and computer games for your valued readers. I would welcome the approaching weekend by reviewing some international music. Come weekend and i would busy myself reviewing the latest Hindi and English (yes, both languages by same person.....i know what yo're thinking....what a moneysaver!!!!!) movies for your weekend suppliment.

I have had more than 10 years of work experience. I am a huge foodie and enjoy all kinds of delicious foods. I am also a non-vegetarian and hence can cover a broad spectrum of buffets. I have been watching over one movie per day for the past two years. I am a hard core game enthusiast and specialise in action and racing games. I listen to music 10 hours a day and
can tolerate everything from bethoven to Drowning Pool, from AR Rehman to Poison, U@, Coldplay...you name it. I would also consent to leave home once every month to review an exotic localed holiday spot for the travel column in your paper.

I promise to be a thouroughly dedicated, hard working employee never taking breaks and working 24/7. I shall strive to be worthy of my job and flit from movies to dinners to playing games and listening to music hours at a time before hopping from holiday spot to holiday spot, never demanding a break or an off day.
