Once upon a time, there was a boy with ravishing beauty, he was looking for a job, and applied for a cool company that had fish in the company name. He got an interview on Feb 1st 2012, after the interview, he never heard back. He emailed them the next week saying that he was interested in the position and wondering if there was a result. A week later, still no answer, and so he emailed them again with a new resume.
After all the boy's hard work, they finally sent this to him.
"Hoe-bags"
"I am so sorry that no one got back to you about the interview. That was a mis-communication on our part. However, I regret to inform you that we have to deny your application to our internships. We are looking for the right interns for our programs, and we feel that your talents would be better served with another company. Best of luck to you and if we need an intern of your caliber in the future, we will be sure to contact you. Thank you for your interest in Xcompany."
The boy was petty, so he unliked their page on facebook, and made a Craigslist ad about it.
He felt there was a good reason to complain about the company, as they posted a job ad every other day for a WHOLE YEAR! That's fishy! It either shows that they can't keep people, and are desperate, or that they are just pulling people's "fins", and just want to sea "what's out there". Might I add, this was for a non-paid internship.
The following is the post I made on Craigslist.
Hello there. This is a little one two about the posting "Internship by X company."
Let me tell you, I've seen their ad for XCompany for at least 3 months. They keep re-posting their ad almost every other day! Something's fishy about this ad, no one should take the bait. Why must you post it all of the time? There is no need for that at all, what are you guys doing? Trying to lure in the big fish? I think not. I know for a fact that you guys have had plenty of talented people come in for interviews, you can't keep swimming upstream. Just choose someone already! If you can't find the right fish in the sea, then explain exactly who it is you want! This is a bad economy, and you guys are lucky to get at least one person interested in an internship! What are you doing? Trying to get a home-run? Just choose someone that's nice, and knows what they're doing! If you keep posting your ads, you just look like a clown-fish and that's not very good for a company. It just shows everyone that you can't make good decisions for yourself, it also says that maybe it's not a good idea to even apply.
What you guys are doing is just like asking someone if they want ice cream, and when they say yes, instead you start eating it right in front of them!
If you ask me Xcompany should be called BLOW-FISH, because I think they are trying to get things by the people who answer this ad! (Like get people's information and stuff)
Xcompany, I have two words of advice for you.
1. Choose someone already, and don't continue with this crazy charade of asking hundreds of people! Stop baiting everyone. Just choose someone already so everyone else who is looking for a job that will actually accept them, can get a job they will actually get. Having your ad posted a million times just makes them go for your ad instead of an actual employer who will value them, they'll just end up getting knocked to the curb. In which their other opportunity will be out the window like a fish with wings!
2. Don't bat yourself in the eye! :O
LOVE- Someone who really needs a job!
EDIT: They've been posting their ads since January 2012, it's already SEPTEMBER 2012 and they are still posting ads!!!
EDIT 2: It's Almost Januray 2013 and they still post.
The young, devastatingly beautiful boy was me. This was my story! I hope you liked it, it was really fun to make all of those puns back in the day!
Since the company has "fish" in the name, I wanted to make as many puns as possible!
Note: As of 2019, they still post job ads looking for non-paid interns. I was reading some reviews from people who worked there, turns out 95% of the people that work there are non-paid interns. It's a Full-Time, non-paid internship, where people are basically working for free, and it's a shame they haven't been shut down for this.
