applications:
So
you’re saying you’ll work for free…?
What
is the minimum base salary or wage you must be offered to accept employment?
“Whatever I’m blessed to receive!”
With
his handle on cutting-edge technology, our company is sure to succeed!
Please
list any special skills you may have which would be helpful in considering your
employment: “Windows ’95, Windows ’98, electronic “e-mail”, the world wide web”

thanks for the info. Moving on:
Reason

hoping that this is a grammar issue and not some kind of insurance fraud:
Reason
for leaving: “Burnt it down”
