Received this email from someone who responded to one of our job postings for a mid-level interactive designer (too good, had to share...and, yes, this is 100% legit and posted here exactly how we received it in the email...no edits...seriously) enjoy and you're welcome...
this job has my name all over it.since birth i have been enamoured with the internet. Self taught of 15 years i am an expert in html, php, database, ajax, streaming audio, streaming video, flash expert, and more importantly digital marketing strategist. after building sites for corporations and mom and pops i would love to focus on one serious project.
most of my clients are happy with the site i give them and do not take it to the next level. i just design them, but no one has retained me to run their site indefinately.
The sites i specialize in is content management systems that allow the client to take their platform into an enterprise level but they lack the same excitement i share for growing a platform.
with the exception of http://www.ballrooming.com which we and the owner update at least twice a week.
it is the number 1 website on the planet for ballrooming and unfortuantely my only serious, vision bounded client, all others are just interested in having a great storefront website and tend to rest on the laurels for the duration.
I currently have over 300 websites online, all have ecommerce solutions so as to impact their bottom line.
I work 18 hours a day researching and furthering my skills and long to partner/work with a company that shares the same level of enthusiam for a technology that will change the world.Currently working on Thelma's of Good Times website along with a bevy of smaller clients.
To recap I am an internet genius that looks forward to furthering my profession of internet technolgy with a firm that will add value to what i do, but most importantly I bring a lifetime of scripts, ideas, and professionalism to all that I do.
i dont have a super duper site to show cuz clients have not had the finance to fund my greatest capabilities but all my sites are search engine optimized and if you google mrwells i should be #1

I wonder how said candidate will react when they follow the spike in traffic back to this thread and see you taking the piss out of him.
Not very professional, no?

He may have overcharged a bit for the $160 site.
Seriously though, I feel kind of bad for the guy.

..That made me laugh harder than anything this week.

Mean?...whatever, it's hilarious. Maybe he should have written a more professional cover letter?
My buddies company (20 person web agency) actually thought about flying the guy out for an interview...now THAT's mean.

This person sure has a grasp on the lens flare. He's reached a flaring level I have yet to see.
Please let me know if you don't hire him. I have a few jobs I think are right up his alley.

His business skills must be very good, and he seems independent & willing to learn.
Just needs a swift kick in the right direction when it comes to technical skills and design principles.

his use of lens flares, globes and cityscapes are stunning.

I'm thinking of joining his revolution.

Seems like he's getting a lot more work than a lot of designers I know. I least he keeps busy and has will power.
Hopefully the people who are making fun of this person will end up hiring a real pre-madonna nightmare of designer and learn a lesson.
