Dear Claudia:
Thank you for applying for employment at our establishment. After careful consideration we've decided to continue our look for that perfect candidate. However, because your application and interview were so unusual we decided to give you some advice in your quest for employment:
First, you should try to be prepare to work 5 days a week regardless of the sailing season. No, we don't let people out of work early every Tuesday for the Women's series, Wednesday for the Wednesday night series or every Thursday for a one design series. Fridays are never optional from May through October. You would get a set numbers of days off. This number would not be lengthen if the wind was light.
Our rest areas are stocked with the usual necessities. They do not include pain killers, bandages, ice packs or bug spray. As strange as this may sound, you should provide all of these things for yourself. Of course company policy would interfere with the pain killers.
We encourage our employees to grow and offer tuition reimbursements. This would not include a sailing school or chartering a captain. Our insurance company wont even consider insuring your life after hearing about some of your 'adventures' at sea. Our medical coverage has a lifetime payment of one million dollars. You've almost racked up half of that in broken bones already. Nor does the company consider your 'significant other' your boat. Our daycare facility will not baby sit some of your crew either. This is for our employees' children. We also considered what your employment would do to our mental health coverage. We strongly hope you get some help.
As far as asking Kim, our human resources director about her weight and if she was available to crew, well, this was just wrong. She has lost 20 pounds and we think she looks great. Your comment that you could use her on a heavy air day left her in tears. Nor would you be allowed to scare up crew by going through files.
We all lead busy life's. If you want to make any kind of GOOD impression on the interiewer, don't have a stop watch around your neck and time everything. We run a tight ship here but it's not in racing mode.
Very best of luck with your search for that perfect job. Please stay out of our starts too, whatever that means.
Best Regards,
Jim Coffer
