Во нашиот инбокс пристигна апликација за работното место на идеална кандидатка, која ни ја испратила веројатно знаејќи за нашата опседнатост со жанрот огласи. Го пренесуваме во оригинал, бидејќи како што ќе видите тоа и е поентата.
Од иронијата која зрачи од него сепак некако нè фаќа јанѕа - со оглед на тоа што во огласот не се наведени примањата, можеби навистина се исплати да аплицира и некој локален англист-шекспиролог, со посебен однос кон велур?
SUBJECT: PRIVATNA REZIDENCIJA JOB ADVERTISMENT
JOB APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF PERACKA-PEGLACKA
MOTIVATION LETTER
Dear Privatna Rezidencija,
Please consider my application for the position of peracka-peglacka.
I was thrilled to see an add with my name on it – Peracka Peglacka! What a stellar coincidence, one might say. Moreover, it coincides with my three true passions – washing, ironing and English.
I am especially inspired when washing delicate fabric, like silk, cashmere, leather, lace… Shakespeare’s sonnets come to mind and beauty overwhelms me: ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?’ I say to that lovely silk camie. ‘Thou art more lovely and more temperate’, I whisper to the cashmere/alpaca cardigan. And I am also dedicated to discuss Shakespeare with the master of the residence, it always gives me а deeper insight of how delicate fabric and yarn is.
And the wisdom of my grandma Peracka comes to mind too: ‘You must learn English, dear, you never know when it might come handy’. And I did!
I am quite content with the terms offered in the job add – 8 hours a day/ 40 hours a week, suites me just fine. However, my grandpa worries the add might be annulled because the law requires that a salary must be stated in any job advertisement as well. But I know years of practice speak out of him now, you know how this lawyers can be – once a Supreme court judge, always a Supreme court judge. He is retired for ages now, perhaps he lost touch with the subject.
Now, who needs details about salary in such a dream job offer?
I do hope you would consider my application.
Should you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Peracka Peglacka
