    From a nice unsolicited email from a recruiter for a well known technology company. Should I apply? Seems that adherence to their requirements are optional. :doh:

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

      Nobetternot. My belly tells me that they know no humor in such matters. Laughing at them because of the irony probably is a capital offense which would get you fired. They would probably even hire you, just so that they can fire you for that.

        Not looking, I like where I'm at. Just thought it was a humorous bit of irony. And yes, If I did apply, I would point this out to them in an interview. I think they would like to know that for whatever circumstance that the errors occurred that their recruiting email was fraught with errors.

            Seems that they desperately need someone to fill that vacancy! :laugh:

              If I were you, I'd remove all spaces from my CV and send it to them! :laugh:

                  My thoughts as well. Though I'd remove punctuation and carriage returns as well, just for good measure! :laugh:
