I posted an ad on Craigslist for promo girls to work a booth for an event my job is attending next weekend. As you can imagine I’ve gotten some pretty well written inquiries along with lots of photos. Below is my favorite inquiry so far. I really like that she used all caps, has worn many hats, has a 4 year old, and is a rape crisis advocate. She did include two photos of herself that I decided not to post. She’s somewhere between something that lurks the Jersey Shore and a Troll Doll.
HI THERE! MY NAME IS GLENNA AND I AM THE ONE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
I HAVE DECIDED TO COME BACK INTO THE HOSPITALITY/ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS. (SINCE THE COLLEGE DEGREE JUST ISN’T BRINGING IN THE BIG BUCKS…)
AFTER COLLEGE (AND UP UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO), I RESIDED IN NORTH LAKE TAHOE WHERE I WORE MANY HATS. MOREOVER, THE HAT THAT I WORE THE MOST WAS AS A BARTENDER AND/OR A HOSPITALITY SERVER. (INCLUDING CATERING IN BOTH AREAS…) I WAS LOCATED IN TAHOE CITY- AT A PLACE ON THE LAKE CALLED ‘PIERCE STREET ANNEX’ (WHICH HELD POSITIONS THAT WERE VERY COVETED BY THOSE OF US IN THE INDUSTRY.) THIS WAS DUE TO OUR HEAVY VOLUME AND PRESTIGE… THE OWNERS OF THIS COMPANY ALSO OWNED ANOTHER BAR CALLED ‘THE NAUGHTY DOG’- WHICH WAS ALSO LOCATED IN TAHOE CITY; AS WELL AS A THIRD RESTAURANT LOCATED IN TRUCKEE, CA. CALLED OB’S. PLUS, THEY RAN A HIGH END CATERING BUSINESS THAT DID WEDDINGS, ETC… ALL AROUND THE LAKE BASIN.
I WAS TRAINED TO BE ABLE TO FILL IN ANYWHERE, (AND I DID), BUT PIERCE STREET (OR P.S.A.) WAS MY MAIN GIG. IT WAS A SPORTS BAR. (WE HAD 3 POOL TABLES, A SHUFFLEBOARD TABLE, AND A DANCE FLOOR W/ A 410 PERSON CAPACITY) I SERVED BEER AND WINE, AS WELL AS HARD LIQUOR… I WAS ALSO TRAINED WITH A LITTLE FLAIR. OFTEN (DURING THE DAY OR ALL THE TIME ON THE OFF SEASON), WE ONLY STAFFED ONE TENDER PER SHIFT AND THEY PRETTY MUCH HAD TO KNOW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING THAT THE PLACE REQUIRED… I WAS ALSO THE DJ ON THE WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS AS WELL AS THE ONLY GIRL ON THE SECURITY STAFF- I WORKED THE LIVE SHOWS AND I LOVED TO BREAK UP THE FIGHTS…
RELUCTANTLY, I MOVED BACK TO THE VALLEY TO BE CLOSE TO MY REMAINING FAMILY AND HAVE A BABY. MY SON IS NOW 4 YRS. OLD AND IS CO-PARENTED BY MYSELF AS WELL AS MY FAMILY.
IT IS LONG SINCE TIME FOR ME TO RETURN TO WORK. I WILL GLADLY COME IN IF YOU WOULD LIKE. I HAVE MANY REFERENCES (ALTHOUGH SADLY, PIERCE ST. HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A PIZZA RESTAURANT DUE TO THE RECENT ECONOMY…). MY PAST EMPLOYERS NOW OPERATE OUT OF RENO.
I AM AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME. ALSO, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME BACK OR CALL ME AT 555-5555. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
SINCERELY,
GLENNA
I ALSO HAVE A B.S. IN SOCIOLOGY FROM SOUTHERN OREGON UNIVERSITY FROM 1999. I HAVE SINCE BEEN A RAPE CRISIS ADVOCATE AS WELL AS A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL SKI INSTRUCTOR. I HAVE WORKED IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IN JUST ABOUT EVERY CAPACITY (BOTH BACK OF HOUSE AND FRONT OF HOUSE AS WELL…). I HAVE NOT ONLY A PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO AVAILABLE, BUT THREE DIFFERENT RESUMES THAT COVER THE REST./ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, RETAIL EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCES, AND TEACHING SKIING AS A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL SKI INSTRUCTOR. PLEASE CALL ME OR EMAIL ME BACK TO LET ME KNOW WHICH ONE YOU WOULD PREFER… OR TO SCHEDULE A JOB INTERVIEW AND I CAN JUST BRING IN THE REQUESTED PAPERWORK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
NO GLENNA THANK YOU FOR THE DELIGHTFUL EMAIL. IT MADE MY DAY BETTER. NO REALLY IT DID.

It hurts my brain to read this.
My translation: like, I worked in a bar and got knocked up so I had to move home? Then, like, I decided? When the kid could go to school? That maybe I should move out? Basically I’ll wear anything low cut and work late hours.
Check it, jersey troll, this is not a resume.
