'Gimme a job': Is this the cheekiest candidate yet?

With record unemployment levels upping the stakes for today’s candidates, it’s important that they handle themselves in a professional and polite manner.

Unlike this mortified jobseeker, who sent a drunken email to her prospective boss, stating “Gimme a job.”

On a night out in Edinburgh, Kirsty Nicolson, 20, bumped into her potential boss, the Manager of Byron Burger, Gary Scott. They met in the nightclub, Opal Lounge, and soon the chat turned to work and Nicolson’s future plans. She explained that she was looking for a temporary job over the Christmas period, before going to Australia in January, and so they exchanged emails.

After conducting a mock interview in the club, eager to get a response from Scott, Nicolson sent him the message at 2.30am – still under the influence, which said: “Gimme a job??? Kirsty…from opal…:)"
