Guest post: i am from america
Despite an admittedly annoying twitch of constantly questioning the future of the human race, I do have some friends who agree to spend time with me. At least, online, anyway. One of my friends, who owns his own business and is wildly successful sent me this gem, which he received from someone seeking a job.
Now I know what happens to my students after they graduate!
"hello!
My name is D***** C******** and in attach files is my resume, because i would like to apply for a job. i may be an option for you, because i have the advantage of experience in the field, because i know the language. i am from america.
if u think u need help during the summer, just let me no."
