Oh my god. What's even funnier is like the last panel of that comic, I actually sent cupcakes in with my resume to the local google sattelite office.
I thought it was really clever. I bought a domain "google____.com", wrote a custom resume specifically for google, had the cupcakes delivered with the name of the website written on top (on a tiny printed chocolate coin so as to be legible)
On the day they arrived, I had about 50 hits from mountain view california, a bunch from atlanta (roughly the number that worked in this sattelite office) (screen http://i.imgur.com/ucsXO.jpg)
Then nothing but silence. I thought it was the cleverest little trick ever. Apparently XKCD had thought of it first.
