As you have obviously guessed, I am standing in for Ms. Amethyst Cuaycong. You may send your resume to me, Ms. Ruby Wackdong.
Your salary requirement is within our pay scale, and everyone has a huge staff to delegate everything to including going to the restroom for you. But you haven't stated your credentials in your offer, not that we'll check them anyway.
Do you have a BA from any Ivy League University? Did you check any boxes except "caucasian" and "male" on your university racial profiling forms? And most important, could you talk your way out of a breathalyser test after crashing your SUV into a crowded school bus and manage to blame it all on President Bush? If all 3 questions are answered 'yes', submit your resume now!
