Today, I got an e-mail regarding an IT support job I applied to. The e-mail had numerous formatting errors due to bad code, and typos all over the place. It said I wasn't qualified for the job. FML

@12, lol I find it amusing that when I put my cursor over "Rosetta Stone" in your post, an ad for Pimsleur language-learning software comes up next to it.

I think they will just take it as an insult. Doubt they will offer him a job for correcting an email.

Well, I'm sure OP is insulted so here's to getting even?

14) who cares if they take it as an insult at this point? OP didn't get the job. It's worth a shot in my opinion. I would fix all the errors and send it back in a heartbeat. I did something similar when applying for my job and it actually made them reconsider and I ended up getting the job.

You don't need that job anyways, you are obviously above their level.

Remembers me of a e-mail I got from a 'programming university', I couldn't read it because the HTML code didn't let me.

Yeah, they teached me how to read broken HTML code and got in the way of everything, including when it looked like an alphabet soup.

With that last one, I'm having a really hard time figuring out if 40 is serious or not...

HTML isn't code in the sense of being a programming language. It's a markup language like YAML. *scurries back in programmer cave*

Fix the errors and then send it back saying that you are sorry you can't take the job because you are obviously OVER qualified.

Maybe they're scared you're better than them, which you apparently are.
