How not to apply for a job in Wales

A DOPEY student applied for a job at a Welsh tourist attraction using the email address “atleastimnotwelsh”.

Horticulture undergraduate James Kettle, 21, also sent his job request to the wrong address.

He came a cropper using the address atleastimnotwelsh3[at]hotmail.com — delivering it to Aberglasney Gardens, Carmarthenshire, instead of the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

A manager at Aberglasney replied: “It may be prudent to change your email address.

“It could have a detrimental effect on any career aspirations of working in Wales.”
James, a student at Pershore Agricultural College in Warwickshire, said: “I feel a right fool.

“I set up the email at school because several Welsh kids were in my year. I forgot it was with my application and didn’t mean to be offensive.”
