For job-seekers

Really dunno what the heck is wrong with me today, but I keep amusing myself with funny stories, and right now I feel sort of obligated to share one more of these with you, people.

Before Hajni got her current job (see here, lol), she’d sent out millions of cv’s to hundreds of places. Then she waited and waited, and then complained to me:

“Hey, you know what? Nobody, but NOBODY replied!”

“Well, okay, you just got started, try to be patient”

“But look: I sent it to sixty-four companies and no reply. There must be a reason”

“And what do you think is the reason?”

“Eh, it must be my e-mail address.”

“Which addy do you use?”

“Happynyuszy@…l“. (=happybunny). See; that must be the problem!”

“Why don’t you change it to something more conservative then?”

“Well, look… my cv is so serious, all these schools and papers I have obtained throughout the years, my qualities and ambitions, all that, you know. I just wanted to find a balance between the serious part of my personality and the fun-loving me. You know, I don’t want to sound like some unbearable geek or a smartass swot, so I think this “happybunny”-thing kind of gives my cv a playful, crazy undertone.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Hope you don’t think it’s too weird. You ever do that at all?”

“Well, not with the email addy. But I guess my photo kind of does the job.”
