This is an actual job application that a
senior citizen submitted to Walmart in Arkansas.
They hired him because he was so funny.....


NAME: Kenneth Way (Grumpy Bastard)

SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman (or at least one who will cooperate)

DESIRED POSITION: Company's President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever's available. If I were in a position to be picky, would I be applying here in the first place?

DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.

EDUCATION: Yes.

LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.

PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I'm worth.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked.

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they're better suited to a more intimate environment.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.: Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be "Do you have a car that runs?"

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, so they tell me.

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no!
On my breaks - yes!

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde supermodel who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.

NEAREST RELATIVE....7 miles

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes absolutely.

That is too funny! I search online for resumes for companies and some people put the weirdest things on them. It is very entertaining.

This is SO funny! I'd never have the nerve to do this, but I'd love to be friends with someone who did!

How do you know he was actually hired? LOL I found similar "resumes" under different names with a lot of similiar 'answers' from that resume...so I tend to think it's fake. I don't believe a lot of that stuff online though...I am very dubious about that kind of stuff.

I do not know for a fact that he was actually hired. I took the post just like it is from another message board to share because it was too funny.

LOL! You know for a "fact" he was hired because you read it on a message board?

My DH is currently working at WalMart HQ in Arkansas...I was laughing about this thing, so I asked him about it and he said that he'd be really surprised if someone got hired off an application like that and he's checking now the database of employees (anyone working at a WalMart in the continental US). I doubt Mr Kenneth Way is on the list...but I'm ready to eat some crow if he is! LOL!

Okay...he just checked the employee database and there is no Kenneth Way listed. Perhaps "Mr Way" got hired and then quit?

Perhaps he's working in the UK...he get around!

I just sent in a job application - Pearl Jam Message Pit

You're Hired - Todd and Tyler Unauthorized

And of course a variation of the 'application', very similar to Mr Way's at Snopes:
