For some reason the maniacally obsessed texters of the world seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to not capitalize in messages to hiring companies.
Why?
Why would anybody think they can get away with this?
It assaults my senses on a daily basis, it happens to me ALL freakin' day long.
I don't care if you text me like that.
I do care if you contact a potential employer like that.
Here are some examples I've saved over the past 2 weeks to prove my point:
"thank u in advance 4 taking the time 2 look over my cover page and resume. i hope to hear from u soon so that i can have the opportunity to show u that i can be a great addition to you team."
(But I'll refuse to capitalize anything if you are so stupid as to hire me ...)
"although i have no experience in the sales of what your business is i feel that Based on my skills + traits i am confident that i would be a great addition to ur team."
(Uh no, no you wouldn't ...)
"im interested but B4 we go any ferther, i need a salary that starts at least at 50 k and goes up 2 500k."
I'm sorry to have to break it to all you ASSHATS, but your annual salary will be directly proportionate to your ability to capitalize.

Bwahahahaha~! I've truly enjoyed reading your blog. My daughter (recent college graduate) just went through the process and started working the Wednesday after graduating on Saturday. What helped her (other than Mama Hawk checking out her resume) was the fact that she has worked since she was 16 years old...and the last year she worked part time in retail. I feel like one of the lucky ones (parents) to have her coming off of my payroll (and she graduated in four years...so proud of her for that.) :) Keep writing! :)
