Just the job(s)

If you've ever received a snotty rejection letter, you might enjoy a new blog by Oliver Davies.

Peeved at being turned down for jobs for which he was perfectly well qualified, Davies has set about applying for 100 jobs for which he has no qualifications whatsoever.

He is not someone who is deterred by the phrase "timewasters need not apply" - although the project is only a few weeks old, he has already applied to become a male escort, a part-time antelope keeper, and a guitarist in a thrash metal band.

It's a laborious but wry way of sending up the process of applying for a job, and the jargon and euphemisms involved.
