Here's a good one from reader Pat Vilbaum:
Catherine, a registered nurse, was unhappy with her job, so she
submitted her resignation. She was sure she'd have no trouble finding
a new position, because of the nursing shortage in her area. She
emailed cover letters to dozens of potential employers and attached
her resume to each one. Two weeks later Catherine was dismayed and
bewildered that she had not received even one request for an
interview. Finally she received a message from a prospective employer
that explained the reason she hadn't heard from anyone else. It read:
"Your resume was not attached as stated. I do, however, want to thank
you for the vegetable lasagna recipe."
