Funny Employment Queries

So we're hiring for two new positions at Urban Insight (the company that supports Planetizen). We're hiring a Web Designer/Developer (with preference given to candidates with backgrounds in planning), and a Web Developer / Programmer.



I published the job announcements to several lists and also on a few online services that I've had success with in the past. I've received a fair number of responses, and, thank goodness, and several highly-qualified candidates (although not so many with backgrounds in planning/architecture/urban esign).



I pulled out several of the funnier comments that appeared in a few of the less competitive applications (all identifying information removed):



Shortest cover letter:



Saw your ad and wanted to apply. Here is my resume.



Unusual statements:



"Please go through these sites before committing with me."



"I am a web designer seeking a position which should enable me to assist your company by offering the highest quality of work in a professional manner."



"i need a good opportunity to work professionals in Flash/Multimedia Animation & designing, i have god experience in flash Interactive animation inspire with dynamic factory site, i had done lots of Official Movie websites,"



"P.S. If we work together ill throw in a free domain name."



"I can offer you my services at a much cheaper rate (Approx USD $9 to USD $12 an hour or a monthly retainer of USD$1800) since I am based in India."



And my personal favorite:



"I am looking for positions starting at $190K."
