D'oh (How not to look for a job)
This is from CNN.com
~Rob
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- A Dutch law school graduate isn't making the first impression that he desired.
Reinder Eekhof wrote a crude e-mail to a friend saying, among other things, that he had "finally finished this stupid education," and is "now looking for someone crazy enough to dump a suitcase full of money in my lap every month."
Unfortunately, he accidentally sent it to someone in the human resources department at a law firm, and now nearly everyone in legal circles in the Netherlands is in on the joke. His "resume" has been forwarded to dozens of law firms.
Some people are adding their own messages, such as: "The advantage is that now everyone in the legal profession in Holland knows your name."

News was saying that he's already been on several job interviews.
Looks like he pulled a "Homer".
Homer

1. American Bonehead
2. Pull a Homer --
to succeed despite idiocy
"Looks like I just pulled a Homer!"
-Magic Johnson
After slipping on water and having the ball fly out of his hands, off a ref's head, and into the basket for the game winning three pointer in Simpsons epsiode 5, 3rd season.
