I work on perl programming. Like web sites with the CGI and othere perl programs on unix. If you will please give me a litter chance to work with you then I might give you The new ideas on perl.
For the request of my resume please fell free and email me at ...@aol.com.
(Thanks)
Don't call us. We'll call you. Although I do wonder what "The new ideas on perl" are.
I almost feel a bit bad for this guy, but geez. You use AOL! And you are sending mail to the wrong address. And even if you had sent it to the right address, it would have been wrong (we don't hire people and you can't give us the new ideas on perl... Sorry!)
Some perl programmer wrote a script to spam every email address related to a job (*every* job not just ones he's interested in) posting on monster.com and said so in his e-mail claiming this should prove his skills to a potential employer..
"Can scrape a web page (beginner skills) - check"
"Complete lack of ethics - check"
"Not very bright (proud of spamming people) - check"
I'm sure he's working for Microsoft now..
okay, that must be some kind of new bottom in finding-a-job-skills.
This is nothing unusual :)
There's like 20 guys like this (i.e. with the same clue level) visiting #perl@efnet pretty much every day.
can i help give you new ideas about perl?
