A COOK'S TALE
While surfing the internet the other day
we came across the plaintive tale of Scotty the Cook. This is just as he has
written it apart from a little editing. Some-one should take pity on him, or get
him to teach a creative writing class. The entries are on a free site which
allows ships crew to post their CVs. The
messages cover a three month period from October 2002.

wont be sorry you hired me. I get on well with fellow crewmembers and can cater
for most tastes I have over 20 years experience in shipping and camps oil rigs
etc, so if you are in the market for cook I’m your man and if you hire me and
I do not perform what I say I can do you don’t have to pay me. All the best in
2003 Scotty
Dear reader I am looking for A position as
ships cook but to no avail. I’ve yet to receive even a reply to my many ads on
the so called Internet so I will try a different approach. If you want a rubbish
cook who smokes like a chimney drinks like a fish and wastes food like a pig has
filthy work habits and does not give a damn about his fellow crew members hire
him or her at once. If you would like the opposite hire me. I honestly don’t
know how I can get an employer to respond to my ads as I have all the expertise
to do a good job, and still can’t find work. And yet I hear there is a
shortage of cooks. I cant see how. Email me or phone. Thank you for reading this
far Scotty
Hi Scotty the cook here. I would just like to
hear of a company, any company, who has hired off a web site. I
am very despondent about the lack response I personally have had. I am a very
good cook. I have all the qualifications for any ship board job but I still fail
to get a response which leads me to believe this internet is not all what its
cracked up to be. I’ve tried every approach. I have been honest, satirical,
funny. I’ve been out of work now six months. Thats the longest in twenty five
years. I am not a happy camper right now. If you would to make a wee scot happy
give me a job. Send me an e mail I will send you a resume.
If you need a good ships cook email me or phone
me or write for full resume. Me bags are packed and ready to go no job too big
or small
