Get a job!

Get a Job!

These are (supposed to be) from actual job applications:
I am extremely loyal to my present firm, so please don't let them know of my immediate availability.
Qualifications: I am a man filled with passion and integrity, and I can act on short notice. I'm a class act and do not come cheap.
I intentionally omitted my salary history. I've made money and lost money. I've been rich and I've been poor. I prefer being rich.
Note: Please don't misconstrue my 14 jobs as 'job-hopping'. I have never quit a job.
Personal: I'm married with 9 children. I don't require prescription drugs.
Number of dependents: 40. Marital Status: Often Children: Various
Length of Current Residence: 60 Feet.

Reasons for leaving the last job:
Responsibility makes me nervous.
They insisted that all employees get to work by 8:45 every morning. Couldn't work under those conditions.
Was met with a string of broken promises and lies, as well as cockroaches.
I was working for my mum until she decided to move.
The company made me a scapegoat - just like my three previous employers.
Job responsibilities: While I am open to the initial nature of an assignment, I am decidedly disposed that it be so oriented as to at least partially incorporate the experience enjoyed heretofore and that it be configured so as to ultimately lead to the application of more rarefied facets of financial management as the major sphere of responsibility.
Special Requests & Job Objectives: Please call me after 5:30 pm because I am self-employed and my employer does not know I am looking for another job.
My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I have no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage.
I procrastinate - especially when the task is unpleasant.
Physical Disabilities: Minor allergies to house cats and Mongolian sheep.
Personal Interests: Donating Blood. 14 gallons so far.

Small typos that can change the meaning:
Education: College, August 1880 - May 1984
Work Experience: Dealing with customers' conflicts that arouse.
Develop and recommend an annual operating expense fudget.
I'm a rabid typist.
Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a West Country chain operation.
I am especially good at editing, typing, grammar and punctuation's

And, finally from a U.N. Personal History form:
SEX: Male (Yes*) Female (Yes)
* Only once in Amsterdam and it was not my fault."
