Hello,
I know I am going to be struck by lightening for this but I had to share a few lines from a resume I received today.
Here are a few on my favorite lines-

At her first job she was a -

Her next job she was a -

showers, dinner, and lite house work too.Travel the painets also.

But here is the kicker-

It is as though spell/grammar check was never invented... too funny! You did hire this applicant, didn't you?? :-O

That absolutely makes my head hurt.

I just got an app this morning in which she claims the reason she left her last employer was because her "job was illuminated".

I guess the illuminated job was the only bright thing there.

On the other hand when I was interviewing people for a nursing position years ago I had one applicant say she was qualifed because "she chopped tomatoes at Taco Bell".

I had a gal apply for an opening in Accounting as a figure clerk. Her experience was working in an exercise gym, you guessed it, as a figure exerciser.

I hope it was for a surgical nurse position!

One of my favorite resumes that I've saved for many years starts out "I am responding to your job in the newspaper for a teller position" and then goes on to outline all her recent experience in the medical field. I'm still not quite sure how she thought those two were related. She also pointed out that "at this time I can only work on Saturdays", even though we specified that the job was at a branch that was only open Monday - Friday.

Of course, this was also the same person who started her cover letter "Dear Sir or Madman", so I guess I should have known it would only go downhill from there!

So, were you the "sir or the madman"

ACU Frank

Did you forward the resume to Paul? It was obviously intended for him.

Paul in Cannon Beach

My favorite resume addresses me as Pastor Paul.

My second favorite was ripped entirely in shreds and re-taped. It also had brown stains. I hope it was coffee.

Well, I'm definitely not a "sir" and even if someone thinks I'm crazy, the correct term would be "madwoman", thank you very much!

The funny thing was, she had my name as the HR Manager before she came in to drop off her resume, and knew to ask for me by name, so how hard would it have been to change her letter to read "Dear Ms. G******" before she brought it in? It was personalized otherwise with information about the job, so it wasn't like she had just used the same generic cover letter she was using for other jobs she was applying for! I always wonder if people honestly think we don't notice stuff like that.

So did you get more pale for posting this little fiasco?
