Hello Sarne.It's been a while since we spoke.Anyhow,to the business at hand.The position that pokerstars is offering as your assistant would be ideal for me.As far as experience goes,as you know,I run a TABCORP Agency in Sydney and have done so for nearly 8 years,having worked for other Agents prior for another 6 years.Regarding poker,I have been playing a lot of B&M poker at Star City and at a number of licenced venues.And lately,have started playing newer games like 2-7 lowball and Razz.Unlike most poker players who know only holdem,I do play the other varieties.Flexibility of course is not a problem for me.The problem may lie in the fact that I don't have a marketing degree.Mind you,a large part of being a TABCORP Agent is to market and promote the Agency so that new people can experience the thrill of the gallops,trots,greyhounds,and sports betting.An example of my marketing prowess came during the recent Soccer World Cup,where I decided to open 24 hrs throughout the tournament.It proved to be extremely successful as my Agency was ranked No:3 in NSW during the 31 days of the tournament.The question remains: Is it enough to get me this role as your assistant?Hope to hear from you soon.Sam.

I think the fact you have tried to sell yourself through a poker forum is enough of a reason not to give you the job.

[DEATH STARE]

Mr Sweet 666.What is your !@#$ing problem?You obviously have a major problem with your inner self.The position that Mr Lightman has made available is a poker related position.AND THIS FORUM IS A POKER FORUM!!!So do me a favour and go !@#$ yourself.

[Samadhi]

"Mr Lightman"hahahahahaha. I think he would prefer to be called "sir".

** If you are interested in the role, please forward your CV and a covering letter to SarneAPA @ Gmail.com (please use this email not my PokerStars email account).** Can you not read Death Stare? First part of going for a job would be to read what is asked of you and i am sure you would not give someone a job if they were selling themselves on a friggin forum or maybe you would.and getting pissed off that easy would also be more of a reason not to give you the job good luck at Tabcorp

Blimey you lot are hard markers. The bloke didn't exactly threaten to gang-bang Mother Theresa, or shoot Doyle Brunson or burn down the bloody Opera House - he only applied for a bleeding job!
