10 things we’ve seen before that we hope to never see on a resume AGAIN!
1. Under “experience” a candidate wrote “a very fast metabolism” and described himself as “someone who would claw to the top using any means necessary.” 2. Abbreviated RETAIL SALES ASSOCIATE with “RETAL SALES ASS.” 3. Under “other interests” listed “can answer any question on Jeopordy.” Possibly? But he surely can’t spell! 4. Listed experience as “Stalking, Shipping, Receiving” – great news, we always need a stalker on staff! 5. For a recent sales/biz dev job “Consistently tanked as top sales producer on new accounts.” 6. Objective at the top of the resume: “I want to play a major part in watching a company advance.” 7. Under Education: “I have a moderate educatin, but always willing to learn more.” 8. Skills: “I’m bi-lingual in three languages.” 9. Salary range: “Anywhere from $18,000 per year to $250,000 per year.” 10. Under “have you ever been convicted of a felony?” – response was “Yes, Arson but will explain in the interview.” Actually, I’ve heard that few times believe it or not over the last 20 years.
