Right I just had an e-mail for a company for a job.
E-mail states:
What do you want to do today after your post-doc? What kind of job are you looking for.

Is there something smart to reply or something that will make me stand (in a good way) out of the crowd.

Cheers

Is it a proper email or a spam unsolicited email?

Those are very expansive questions; they are casting a wide net.
Sounds like spam.

They've thrown one out to see what bites (in management speak!)

What's a post-doc?

What kind of job -are- you looking for?

"Well, ideally I'm looking for a job that pays a seven-figure salary; duties include driving convertible sports cars in California, testing cocktails in Hawaii, and lightly oiling Angelina Jolie as required."

Don't write right unless it's right in the context.

Tom, something in the lines of:
I am looking for a job where i can use the skills I have developped during my PhD and my post-doct.
I am looking for an opportunity to also learn new skills and to challenge myself on a regular basis.

Well something along these lines
