15: If the listing says to email the jobs list, don't email the jobs list asking where to send your application. You're just showing that right off the bat you don't know how to follow directions.

19, and this is one of my favorites--I get that you're applying for a lot of jobs and that we're just one of them, but DON'T SEND ME AN EMAIL SAYING HOW EXCITED YOU ARE TO APPLY TO WORK AT "OTHER COMPANY'S NAME" Copy and paste errors get you tossed into the round file.

21: Remember to *attach* your resume to your email. Just because you say you attached it, doesn't mean it's there.

22, and I'm going to wrap it up here with this gem: Always, always, ALWAYS email from your PERSONAL email and not from the account of your current employer. Seriously.

Oh! Extra special bonus tweet! Don't send me your resume ON A USB DRIVE INSIDE OF A PINATA WITH YOUR FACE ON IT. Yes this happened. Yes I put the USB drive in a shredder. Yes.

Replying to @therealfitz
I think it was a team-building/morale thing. It was fun to whack spam in person though.
