Resume Blunders

Interviewing for a new job is never easy. Between researching the company you’re interviewing with, memorizing clever answers to the typical personality trait questions, and picking out the perfect outfit, there’s a thousand things to get nervous about. But there’s one thing that you always have complete control over prior to walking into that meeting; your resume. The resume is a great way for you to shove loads of your notable achievements in your potential employers face, without the risk of looking like a egotistical maniac by talking your head off about everything you have accomplished in the last 5 years. While filling out your resume is certainly not easy, I am perplexed by how often people manage to completely screw this aspect of the application process up. The reason I am bringing this up is a article I came across today that listed the 150 Funniest Resume Mistakes, Bloopers, and Blunders Ever. Its quite funny, here are some good ones:

“Time is very valuable and it should be always used to achieve optimum results and I believe it should not be played around with”

“Skills: Strong Work Ethic, Attention to Detail, Team Player, Self Motivated, Attention to Detail”

Other Interests: “Playing with my two dogs (They actually belong to my wife but I love the dogs more than my wife)”.

Achievements: “Nominated for prom queen”
