I hate to drag my normally interesting and funny GW2 blog down with stories from my real life, but I have to get this one off my chest. As some of you probably know, IRL I'm a manager and part of managing people is hiring people. More often than not, hiring is a shit show and it's not very much fun. In fact, it's probably one of my least favorite parts of my job. 

Today, I was screening resumes and came across a candidate who submitted a cover letter ... in Latin.

I assume he thought my reaction as a hiring manager would be "Wow! What a smart guy! I definitely want him on my team!"

What I actually thought was "Wow! What an arrogant douche bag! I have enough crap to deal with without having someone overly impressed with his own cleverness on my team!"

At least this candidate made my job easier. I guess I should thank him for that.
