by Wall Street Job Report 

A man we’ll call Robert has a profile on the employment website Monster.com, and earlier today he received a message from a recruiter about a job in “beautiful Northwest Arkansas.”

Robert’s Monster.com profile clearly states that he is only interested in jobs in the Columbus, Ohio, area.

“I’m not sure where you are in your job search currently, but knowing your skillset I thought you would be interested in hearing about this challenging position,” the recruiter wrote. This set off a wonderful, completely out-of-line exchange, detailed for your enjoyment below.

Since you got my resume off of Monster, I’m sure you saw in my profile that I’m only interested in jobs in Columbus, Ohio, because you surely check these things before firing off e-mails.

Actually, I’m not. But then again, to know that, you would have to read my resume. Something real recruiters do, by the way.

You’re quite amusing, really.
