RK RETAIL CHAIN


July 26th, 2012

Dear Jamie,

I am so happy that you inquired about my job status and have requested my resume. It turns out that I am looking for a job. As for which type of job would suit me best, it turns out that I am good at all of the things. Which things, you ask? All of them. Here is a list of some of the skills which I possess:

·     I am a specialist on cats. I can correctly identify where their faces are and what their paws look like. I can also tell you which colour they are and possibly, if given enough information, if they are deceased or alive.
·     Coordinating complex projects involving tens of people and organizing large amounts of data. For instance, I was once challenged with buying three Big Macs (3), and a super sized drink (1) and fries (1) from a McDonalds (1). I kid you not; I was able to correctly order and pay for this project, which involved many of datas (6) in less than two (2) minutes. I was also informed that an entire crew of staff (4) helped out in the execution of its delivery. I then ate the aforementioned complex project in under six (6) minutes and was so organized that I found the quickest path to the restroom one (1) minute later. If you multiply all those figures together, divide them by 2.5, then bring them to the exponent 2, you get: 119,439.36. That is a big number!
·     Styling my own hair. Seriously, I have decades of practice with this, no other person on earth is as experienced in this field as me.
·     I can operate an elevator. You can test this out by joining me on a trip to the nearest elevator and I will correctly take you to the floor you require. Escalators are second nature to me.
·     Left turns. I always turn on my blinker and look both ways before making a left turn. I hear that ladies love a good left turn.
·     I can count backwards from at least 37
·     You know when you’re on the subway and someone happens to look at you while you’re staring at them? I am an expert at looking away really quickly.
·     Chewing. I have been doing this my whole life and have chewed lots of different things. You can prepare a list of things before our interview and I’ll tell you if I’ve chewed them or not. Don’t even bother including food, my tongue, or legos on this list; you may be astounded, but I have chewed all of these things already.
·     Once I was stuck in a meeting about strategized synergistic visions and I broke the local record of 3,849 pen clicks in a row.
·     I can take my own visage and a large piece of glass and apply just the right amount of pressure to accomplish what I call “squish-face”.
Since you also asked, I am looking for compensation in excess of $5. I should mention that this $5 compensation requirement has no cap and may exceed upwards of bajillions of dollars. Of course, this is all relative to the amount of skills that I need to possess in this new job that you have for me. For instance, if say, 2 of the skills that I mentioned are required, then I would expect perhaps $15. On a larger scale, if 4 skills are required, than I feel as $43 is more appropriate. Of course this is open to negotiations and again, this is all relative and depends on the amount of skills required. Since I have all the skills, compensation could go upwards to infinite and beyond.

In terms of location, I am either looking for an occupation on the bottom of the ocean, or on Jupiter. Either location would be ideal as I coincidentally like fish and/or large quantities of unidentifiable, red gas being swirled into giant storms. If perhaps you could find a company located in a combined, gassy-fish area, that would be best.

Thank you for your interest, I expect that you will keep my information confidential and on file for the next 5-7 years.

Sincerely,

Terry
