My resume entertainment for the day

[karebear304]

Someone just send over a resume with a clip art lighthouse at the top. :-|

I live in TN - this has nothing to do with the beach, and even less to do with the job. Freaking hilarious.

Also, one man put his entire life stats...like Age: 48 Married To: XYZ, etc.

...and I got a cover letter that says "My whole life I've wanted to go into the health care industry...and porceeds to talk about nursing for three paragraphs. I work in real estate.

Wow. Just wow.

Sounds like some of the college essays I get. "I've always dreamed of going to *name of university that is not ours*." Pretty sure I've had ones written by kids who are drunk, too. My favorite of all time was a kid who talked about his cat, Fluffles. Fluffles was a nice kitty, but it wasn't very trustworthy of other people. So that taught this kid not to be too trusting either. It was a magical read.

In conclusion, I feel your pain.

Omg, this made me literally burst out laughing at my desk.

This is awesome. I think I would have had to stick him in the "yes" stack just to discuss that in person.

Oh how I miss reading resumes!!! People are freaking hillarious!!!

I saw a resume that was sent to my client once, and this poor girl's roommate or friend had obviously decided to fuck with her when she was away from her computer. Under Activities and Interests, it listed "Belittling friends and loved ones and pooping my pants."

I wonder how many prospective employers she sent that out to before she noticed.
