A GRADUATE jobseeker was branded a “home-educated oddball” who “forages for mushrooms” in an email sent to her by mistake by a prospective employer.

The Sun reports Anna Jacobs, of Kent, was also dubbed a “biscuit short of a packet” and a “left-wing loon tree hugger” by Tecomak Environmental Services, who wrote the comments in an email alongside an invitation to interview.

Inviting her to the next stage of applications, the company said Anna, who lives in Horsmonden, Kent, “can’t get a job since leaving uni” and was “worth an interview if only for a laugh”, the BBC reports.

Tecomak, who are based in nearby Tonbridge, claim the insults have been taken “out of context”.

Anna, who applied to be an office administrator with the ventilation firm, told BBC South East Today she was “furious” with the “awful summary”.

She said she had not received an apology from the firm.
