Hooray! 50th suck. More than 50 posts here. Believe in us now? Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Link to the site. Send in the worst Kijiji posts you've seen. Share the love.

Found in Vancouver's resume section, here's a lady who's made peace with her career ambitions. She wants to be the woman who holds the stick with the "stop" sign on one side and the "slow" sign on the other side. And she takes it very, very seriously:

Woman who wants to raise her career to the level of holding a stop/slow sign.Traffic Control/Flagger Position Wanted...
I am writing to express my interest in and enthusiasm for the position. As an accomplished Traffic Control Person/Flagger with Traffic Plan Coordinator abilities. I plan an achieved, long term, successful career as a valued employee within A reputable construction, traffic control company.

I will answer any questions you may have. You may reach me via email at, xxxxxxx@live.ca

I look forward to our valued conversation.

Sincerely,

I am pretty pissed at this post. This woman is trying to find work... she is not asking for a handout or welfare - but to WORK. The only past experience she has to build upon is as a crossing guard, and she did well at it... so why not be proud of it. We trust our children to these people... to help them get home safely. This post is just cruel... she is a real person, asking for a real job.
You just brought your blog down to a new low with this. Just delete this entry and find a new post worthy of your 50th.

This person is begging for FREE clothing, but wants only top of the line clothes.

The woman in your post is asking for a JOB! Not begging for money/clothes/handouts/etc.
