1.
You sent in an application, and your email address is
something close to one of the following: sexypoonkie@___.com,
no.stress.zone@____.com, babymomma@____.com, pornstarcupcakes@___.com, sweetcheeks@___.com,
Rudeboy69@___.com... Yo get the drift right?
Most likely who ever you sent that application to, looking for a job, saw your email address, sucked their teeth and went on to more important things on their list of tasks for the day. Find an email address that sells you as a professional!

2.
The person you sent your email address decided to check your
Facebook profile and realized that yo not only proficient in Microsoft Word and
Excel but yo could hold yo liquor quite well, and very often…and that yo seem
to be the baddest youth bout the place, ...every pan knock yo dey dey… Clean up yo Facebook profile nuh!
3.
Your application was filled with spelling and grammatical errors
and or had a weak structure. Trust me, ain't nobody got time to try to figure
out what you trying to say. Spell check please!
4.
You sent in your email address to an HRM who happens to be a woman
and your salutation is, “Dear Sir” or “Dear Sir/Madam”… in this day and age
when in less than 3 minutes you could find out who you sending your application
to, the “Dear Sir/Madam” thing comes off as laziness. You nah really k so nah
expect them to k neither. Find out who will receive your application!
5.
Your application was sent in on perfumed paper. Seriously though
is what kinda job yo really applying for?
6.
In your application you explained in great depth how yo really
need the job because you are a single mother or father and times hard, or you
had to leave the last fool you were working with…ahm check the company’s thrash
every day after you send in that application you might be able to recycle your
paper.
7.
You have two degrees, you speak fluent Spanish, French, German,
and Mandarin Chinese you’ve also vacationed on the moon twice. Stick to the
truth please! Again with Facebook, Twitter, and Mr. Graham Bell’s invention
they would find you out. Don’t lie on your application!
8.
You sent in an application with your photo even though the company
did not ask you to do so. Ah know you know you pretty, and I know YOU know you sexy. Again, is what kinda job you applying for?
9.
You sent in an application with a letter from your mother saying
how wonderful you are. Oh please!
10.
Your application began, “Greeting you in the name of ________” . They
will laugh lol. See suggestion in 6.

Your post is absolutely realistic. I may have done some of that myself in the past considering that's what I was taught by professionals while I was in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines a few years ago. Well I know better now. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront so that many other people who still practice this will know better and know not to make the same mistakes we did when applying for jobs in the future. Great blog. Keep posting them.
