Why is he limited to Pennsylvania if he can just park his RV anywhere and work?

Work from an RV parked outside the company? That raises telecommuting to a whole new level.

I, too, have an RV MotorHome and can live and work out of it. However, I am ambitious and can do this is there is an RV park with 25 miles.

For the right position or salary, I would even consider 30 miles.

Warrants for his arrest in New York, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, and New Jersey.

He's boxed in!

Then he probably wouldn't be able to answer the "thinking outside the box" question either.

I was sitting at home some ten years ago, contemplating career and employment, when my telephone rang. Calling was an engineer with a large multi-national company. He was based in Texas, at one of the company's defense and aeronautics divisions. He mentioned that he'd been looking at my web page, which was very heavily biased towards electrical engineering and building prank UFO's, and then he asked me a few odd questions then thanked me and the call ended.

The call struck me as a little wierd but I decided he was just curious and dismissed it. A few days later he called me again, with another engineer, on speakerphone and they asked me a few more questions about my UFO projects, my engineering interests, and the like - then they thanked me and that call ended. "Ok," I thought, "that was really strange," and then I shook off the wierd feeling and forgot about it.

The following week I recieved a third call from this engineer who turned out to be a project lead and in charge of hiring. He spoke to me a minute and then said they'd like to fly me down for a few interviews and to offer me a position. Well, since I wasn't interested in moving, especially halfway across the country, I said no thanks and explained why. I was met by the longest silence, some confused mumbling and obvious disbelief, and finally a question presented in a most puzzling tone. "If you didn't want to move here then why did you apply for a position and why have you been interviewing with us?" Before I could answer he sighed, said they were really excited about getting me, and hung up on me.

I never got the chance to tell him that I hadn't applied for any position, not with his company or any other, and that I had no idea I that was being interviewed. I could only come up with two possible explanations for this bizarre happening: 1) A headhunter had found my resume on my web site and had forwarded it on hoping to get a fee. 2) Someone in the company had seen my resume on my web site and sent it thinking I'd been a good candidate but something was lost along the way.

Naturally, failing to grab this opportunity that was dropped into my lap is something I still regret to this day.

Though Alan pointed out the creepiest quirks on the guy's resume, the full PDF version has a few more WTFs. I liked this stretch:

"... I worked for Robotics For Agriculture of Selden, NY. I developed a package for them. It included an add/delete feather. An edit feather and a Monthly/Quarterly report. It was constructed of Visual Basic and Visual Fox Pro. I have written programs in Visual Fox Pro. I have discored Visual Basic Guide To The Windows32 API, also SpyWorks..." and it goes on and on.

Seriously, halfway through reading it I could swear there would be a "No Quack" at the end.

That's as far as his RV will go with a half tank left of gas and coasting down hills. Didn't you read his letter?

HE'LL WALK UP TO 20 MILES TO GO TO WORK. JERKS.
