Office Clerk
I'm looking for a great individual to join my team. This is a temporary position involving filing, scanning, copying, and general office duties. It is a good introduction to office work. I think it would be a good internship for an aspiring student. The job is paid.
I expect hard work from you. You need to be focused and organized. You will be required to be at work on time. You must be interested in office clerical work.
If you're interested in the position, follow these very simple instructions to apply. Don't follow these instructions, however, and I'll simply delete your submission and save everyone time and aggravation. If you can't follow these simple instructions now, how can I trust you to follow simple instructions and do the job right later?
TO APPLY:
Respond by email to this ad.
In the Subject line of your e-mail, tell me your favorite ice cream by typing "My favorite ice cream is" and include your favorite ice cream. What does this have to do with the job? Absolutely nothing, but I love ice cream (I love almost any flavor at Baskin Robbins), and this ridiculousness shows me you read this entire post and can follow simple instructions.
Give me 3 sentences on why you want the job and what you hope to gain.
In 4 sentences, tell me what your mission statement is. My mission is to assist individuals hurt by the negligence of others achieve justice.
In 3 sentences tell me what your education plan is and why this job will help achieve that goal.
Attach your resume to the e-mail so I can see what you've done during the past few years. I don't care if you salted peanuts at the circus or piloted a space shuttle to the moon. I just want to see where you've worked, how long you worked there, and what you did. (Another word to the wise, I am not interested in job jumpers – those people who are at a job less than a year before taking another job.) Since this is an internship, you probably do not have much work experience. So, tell me what classes you have taken and the grades you made in them.
"Sign" your name (I know it is digital) and include your telephone number directly beneath it.
