actually work while on the job :-).

I thought at first that he wrote a script to substract a "experience
starting date" from today's date and to send emails automatically,
this is what I would suepect myself of doing if that was written by
someone like me. But he said no, he wrote the email personally.

I just received a resume.

``As a candidate for the position I have a Mechanical Engineering
degree and about 2.54 years experience doing technical writing and
3.79 years experience doing some engineering and CAD.''

What kind of ME is that, using only _2_ decimal places when he coulda
used 3 or 4? Sheesh!




It is probably no coincidence those are the numbers of cm per inch and
liters per gallon.

If he thinks this is a very clever thing to put on a resume, I personlly
would probably find him annoying to work with.

Frankly..Id not hire the guy based on the resume alone. Face to
face...might be a different story.
