Nice, just got this at our corporate mailbox:
Dear Sir/Madam
APPLICATION FOR A JOB POSITION
I hereby wish to apply for a job position in your company. I am a
self-motivated and diligent person and worker, committed to achieving
high standards of competence and professionalism in my work.
I have graduated with a Diploma in Textile Design and Technology at
the (removed). I have a strong interest in designing,
gained through my exposure to elective coursework in designing
textiles, knowledge of understanding colour and fabric formation.
I assume we get the email because we happen to have a product called Silk. Sure, this sounds a bit about fabric, and I guess that's why we got the email in the first place. Still, silly, either the guy used a bulk mailing on a pre-determined keyword-based email list harvested by spam bots, or just sent it to everybody.
No, man, we don't do textile design. Yet. Wait a few months until we turn into a mega corporation handling everything from knit socks to entertainment robots. Or maybe not.

When I was CIO of a small tech company I received this e-mail as well and that was over a year ago. Guess he still hasn't gotten a job.

Who applies?
So far I've had several cahiers from McDonalds, a couple of janitors and a library research guy.
Idiots.
