First Impressions

Looking on the Denver Craig's List just now I found the following post. It's mis-categorized, so I'm sure it will disappear soon, as it is in the jobs posting section, so I wanted to preserve it for your enjoyment. Other than removing the poor guy's name, everything is exactly how it is posted on Craig's. What a way to make first impressions. (Or maybe someone trying to make another person look bad?)

My Name is **,
I’m writing this because im currently looking for a job. Apparently no one hires anyone these days with out some kind of degree or cert which if ask me is kind of ridiculous considering the fact that me myself I have about 8 years or more exp in an assortment
Of things plus schooling not finished. For the simple fact is that either a. I moved b. needed to support my family or c. a family crisis and I had to stop school to take care of family needs. In my eye my family comes first over all. I’m settled down here in Colorado Springs just moved here from Florida so I and my wife can start our own family I'm 25. I’m currently well skilled in computers/software/web design I have about 10 yrs in that. I also have exp in other fields as far as construction in that 4 yrs Painting/ 1yr Framming/2 yrs Alarm installing/2 yrs land scaping so on and many more. To start I have a problem I'd been accused of something I never did so I had been charged as a accessory to a attempt of burglary I never attempted which in my case and opinion you get what you hang around well my so called friends got me in trouble and I guess I picked the wrong friends that was when I was 21. Now I’m 25 and it’s kind of biting me in the butt sorta speak so now even if I get a degree I’m not promised anything which sucks. My wish would have to be a computer company of sorts either web design or whatever I love computers I love to design I love to work on any computer related stuff. My wish would have to be a company of sorts like I said previously would hire me even though I have a crap record and no degree would give some one like me a chance and try me out to see what I have. I’m a hard worker. I'm passionate when it comes to anything about computers. I'm an honestly a quick learner. Just wish some one would give me the time of day and give me a chance to prove my worth.

Then again, the guy does have experience in "framming" and "scaping"...
