TOPIC STARTER
and another thing...
Sep 8, 2008
Something I neglected to mention previously...
There are two other things that annoy me to no end, and, as such, are sure to ensure failure
when applying, at least to Baldwin Linguas, being:
1) Do NOT ask for a return receipt. That's just annoying, and serves no purpose in this context. I will let you know if/when I have received your application, and, your skills meet our needs, etc. Otherwise, without intending to be rude, it's none of your business if I've received your message, or not.
If you're sending an invoice or an important project, perhaps, I can understand the utility of such measures, but, not when applying to work with us.
Besides, if you had looked at our site, and read the instructions, and submitted your application on-line, according to said instructions, our serve will send you an automatic reply.
2) Pelo amor de Deus...DO NOT send an inquiry in HTML, replete with flashing images, or pretty backgrounds, etc.
Send your inquiry/application in plain text, and preferably with UTF-8 encoding.
Of course, again, if you've found our site and followed our instructions, our server will send us your application, generated by filling in the forms I built on the site, in plain text...just as I prefer.
kthnxbye...
