once again...i have to ask what you're talking about! Did someone submit that to you? where did you find it? that's funny though.

When I was unemployed in Calgary for a year, desperately searching for work, I sent off one my strongest applications to UBC. Merely seconds after I'd faxed it did I realize that on my cover letter I had opened with 'Dir Sir'

Smooth.

P.S. I didn't get the job.

Heh. It was on a freelance writing resume board.

I've been submitting a lot of articles and resumes for freelance gigs. I'm almost out of work, as the full-time job I've been holding will no longer need my services by the end of this month. So...I need something to hold me over until I find another job. The freelancing thing has actually been working in my favor. Hopefully it will hold me over until I find another job. Talk about wingin' it!

By the way, "Dir Sir," isn't all THAT bad...This would be bad:

Dir Sir:

Luv,

I'd kill myself if I had to do freelance work. The one thing I'm even more incapable at than working for someone else, is spending hours writing little enquiry letters where 90% of them go nowhere. Just talking about it sucks my life force...

Sounds like you have quite the knack for it, though...

Anything is better than what I'm doing now...even freelancing.

That is too funny. Or should I say - Tat is too funy.
