Would you hire this person?

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It is free from Wikimedia. At one point in my working career, I asked for a reference from a business manager. Below is the first reference he gave me. Then he gave me another ‘proper’ one which was much more complimentary. You have to admit this one is funny though, don’t you? The Reference To whom it may concern: Reference: Mrs Judy Evans I am at last delighted to be able to offer a reference for Mrs Evans. Since her employment here following her 250 hours of community service we have not seen any items go missing. Her release from parole has boosted her confidence and seems to have stopped the insubordinate language she previously demonstrated. Now she has got her licence back we are beginning to let her use the company car but this is better later in the day because her blood alcohol level remains quite high for several hours after she drinks. She has now managed to put in a full week’s work but this pattern is not likely to continue after payday. I wish you every success if you employ Judy. I did mention it was a joke, didn’t I?

This is too funny Judy, and the little guy in the photo is not someone I would hire.

Too funny. I hope you framed it. I love the picture too. The raccoon seems to go along with the drunk attitude of the letter.
