Today I opened my email to find this message:

Interested in contact information for this candidate for a position with a Toronto software company.

That’s it, no contact information, no nothing. I checked the headers from the email and it was sent through one of those job websites, so it’s possible this HR person didn’t realize that his message would be sent directly to the candidate, but still. I find this utterly hilarious as I’ve spent the last several weeks working diligently on my cover letters for my job applications. I’ve agonized over the placement of a comma, worried about my word choice, and held my breath before clicking “Send”. And this fella sends me that email? Tsk tsk.
