Easter Egg - Bota Singh's Job Application

Bota Singh's Job Application
by KENNETH WAY


WALMART JOB APPLICANT REVEALED ...

Herein below is an actual job application that this 75-year old submitted in California, U.S.A. It appears that, after getting fed up after a life-time of getting rejections - "You are over-qualified!" - "You do not have enough North-American experience!" - "We don't recognize foreign degrees!" - Sardar Bota Singh decided to use a fresh approach.

Rumours are that they hired him ... because he was funny!

JOB APPLICATION

NAME: Bota Singh (a.k.a. Grumpy old *******)

SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman (or at least one who will cooperate).

DESIRED POSITION: Company President or Vice-President. But seriously, whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be applying here in the first place.

DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 per annum plus stock options and a "golden parachute" style of severance package. If that is not possible, make an offer and we can negotiate.

EDUCATION: Yes.

PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I'm worth.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked.

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS? Yes, but they're better suited to a more intimate environment.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER? If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS.? Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR? I think the more apppropriate question here would be - "Do you have a car that runs?"

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION? I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes , so they tell me.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS? Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy supermodel from Bhatinda who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.

NEAREST RELATIVE: 7 miles.

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE? Oh, yes, absolutely.
