Resume Blunders
I received some feedback on my blog about resumes and job so I decided to come up with a list of interesting things people say in their resumes. Some would call these statements as expression of a person’s individuality while I see them as resume blunders. You decide
1. I belive that weakness is the first level of strength, given the right attitude and driving force. My school advised me to fix my punctuality…
2. One candidate included a letter from his mother.
3. One Candidate included naked picture of himself while another included a link to her web site which contained nude pictures of herself (while this would make sense if someone was applying for a position in a pornographic film, it is not advisable in other contexts)
4. Other Interests: Playing with my two dogs (They actually belong to my wife but I love the dogs more than my wife).
5. Why Interested in Position: to keep my parole officer from putting back me in jail
6. Able to say the ABCs backward in under five seconds.
7. Finished eighth in my class of ten.
8. Reason for leaving last job: Bounty hunting was outlawed in my state
9. Application: How large was the department you worked in with your last company? Answer: 3 stories.
10. Languages: Fluent in English. Also I have been heard muttering Gibberish in my sleep.
