Aaron at the
Hypnofocus blog had an interesting run-in with a candidate who offered to send a resume. Here's his opening:
I placed an advertisement on Craig's List for local helpers for my show.
I received a few responses. The least successful of the responses was this one. This candidate lasted exactly two e-mails in to the pre-screening process (and that was being generous).

Still, in the interest in fair hiring practices, I'm willing to acccept the resume and give it fair consideration.
This leads us to round two...
