'I Would Be Absolutely Perfect For This,' Report 1,400 People Looking At Same Job Posting
So that only leaves 1,399 less qualified individuals in competition for my current career ambitions, according to The Onion:
"SAN FRANCISCO—Upon coming across the same job posting Monday for a
full-time position at a local startup company, an estimated 1,400 people
reportedly described the opening as “a perfect fit” for their
qualifications, saying it was exactly the opportunity they’ve been
waiting for. “I have all the skills they want, my experience matches
up—I honestly don’t know if there’s anyone out there better suited for
this job than me,” said unemployed man Charles Duncan, echoing the
sentiments of 1,400 others, 900 of whom believe their facility with
social media and knowledge of web design will definitely make their
application “stand out from the rest of the pack.” “This position just
makes so much sense for me. My résumé and cover letter might not
get me the job outright, but once I go in for the interview they’ll see
why I’m ideal for it.” Sources later confirmed a family friend of a top
executive at the company had already accepted the position, which had
been unofficially promised to him long before the job was even posted."
