For those of you who are writing books...

Received a resume today in response to a vacancy for a Director of Communication and Strategic Planning. In the resume she writes:

"...willingness to learn with enthusiasm and have the ability to speak well individually and among groups."

Yes, I hit the delete key.

Hit the delete key again, just to be sure!

Thats a good example of no matter how great you think your resume sounds, have someone else read it for clarity. Geesh, and she was going for a Director of communications position? That is funny.

Who is Enthusiasm? From the same family as Glee the reindeer?

Very nice- I'm roflmao.

ritaanz · August 2004

Yo Tom! Whats a roflmao?

HRinNH · August 2004

I believe it stands for 'rolling on the floor, laughing my *** off'

Then should it not be ROTFLMAO?

The whole point of abreviating is to eliminate the need for typing.

Therefor, roflmao is the proper spelling. "the" is not needed.

Too funny! A classic example of using a lot of words to say absolutely nothing. x:-)

You're right! She should have put in her resume: "WTLWEAHTATSWIAAG." x;-)

Here's another one for the resume/application hall of fame - I received an application a couple of weeks ago from a candidate for a customer service position. Included in her educational background was a Certificate for Mistake-Free Grammar, which she earned in 2003.

On the back of our application, we include a question regarding why the applicant wants to work for our company. Her response began, "I have did research..." Guess the mistake-free grammar certificate must have expired!
