Guardian Bookshop Notes:

When Carpenter was made redundant, he decided to apply to every job in the recruitment section of the "Guardian" newspaper, which included everything from English football manager to head of the Liberal Democrats. The ensuing correspondence reveals the comic underbelly of the recruitment process.

Publisher's description:

Ian Carpenter was a 34-year-old property manager in Basildon when he found himself made redundant. He was looking at the recruitment pullout of the "Guardian" newspaper, and wondered: why don't I apply for every job here? So that's what he did, and along the way broadened his scope by applying to be the English football manager.
