Pretty funny. Not shocking and I actually expected to see worse, but this is good end-of-my-workday-laugh material.

Re: Cover Letter / Resume Hilarity
LFS,
Welcome to the world of hiring. I once worked with a really dumb chick who wrecked the English language. One of her greatest hits was saying "fruitation" (not a word) instead of "fruition". So one night working late I was bored and logged onto Monster.com and did an all database search for "fruitation". Here is what I found: [ QUOTE ] Project included indentification and installation and/or modification of software currently utilized on both Developers and Production Systems (SAS Base & Intrnet, HTML, Java Scripts, FTP, SiteMinder & NT Security and SafeSource) on both Windows NT and UNIX platforms, assignment of step-by-step activities among departments, system staging and push to bring UAT project to fruitation on time. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] A position where my many years of experience can come to fruitation. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] My objective is to find a good company that will be as loyal to me as I will be to them. I enjoy not only seeing something that I helped create come to fruitation but also to completion. [/ QUOTE ] (pretty sweet redundancy there.) [ QUOTE ] To be able to share in the fruitation of a company's accomplishments. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I process all accounting duties such as manageing the bank accounts, and filing quarterly sales tax and income tax forms. We work together to bring full musical compilations to fruitation. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] A job where I am aloud (LOL!) to utilize my professional music expertise and related skills to bring the desired results to their full fruitation and to be able to recommend solutions that I have found to be have validity. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Filenes Inc.,Flex Rep/Manager Trainee-helped collect the “trouble spots” to fruitation and attempted to motivate other representatives to succeed. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] There is this deep inate need to make a contribution to a greater good. To follow a plan and then see it throught to fruitation. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I like to get with a creative team and start with an idea and see it through to fruitation. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I believe in completing jobs and will do that bit of extra to bring it to fruitation. [/ QUOTE ] |

She also had a problem with "cudos", this turned up only three hits at the time:
[ QUOTE ] Received numerous cudos from customers for excellent service and customer communication. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Cudos for outstanding customer service skills. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Recieved company wide cudos in Verizon Wireless Company Magazine. [/ QUOTE ] I love how some people can't be bothered to spell check before blasting their qualifications all over the internet. |

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Education 1944-1978 -High School Diploma High School , Poland 1978-1980 -Teachers Diploma Teachers College, Poland 1991-1994 -Hairdressing Diploma Midland Avenue College, Ontario, Canada 1992-1993 -Colorist Diploma Coloring School “Color Club For Hair”, Toronto, Ont. Canada 2001-2002 -Goldwell Educator Certificate Goldwell College, Toronto, Ont. Canada -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/ QUOTE ] Other than the fact that this likely a 50 year old polish woman who made a typo, she'd probably be a good interview, especially when you consider the typical wasteoids that live in that hellhole you call LA. I assume this is a 10 dollar/hour gig - what the hell do you expect, a three-page CV? I think she'll be 10-key by touch able, which is probably useful for you, provided her English is good. [/ QUOTE ] You're right about it being a typo, but it's still funny. The position is a training position, and this is really the only way to become a talent agent, so I get resumes from people with law degrees, etc. |
Re: Cover Letter / Resume Hilarity
Give me a job, please. I finished high school in only four years.

Re: Cover Letter / Resume Hilarity
Not on a resume, but still my favorite...I've interviewed a few people who started the interview by asking, "So, what's the job?" WTF?!? You don't know what the job is, but you applied for it?
