I'm going through resumes for an IT position as we speak. Just found one guy who listed boomerang throwing as a hobby.

I bet that there's a boomerang throwing forum somewhere where they're talking about bad CVs and making fun of someone who said they like to play cards

pirateboy,

Does your TV station need an anchorman? I'm a former paratrooper with a shaven head and a thick Boston accent. I'd be perfect for those feel-good human interest stories as well. PM me!

Whoopsie. We may have another flashlight forum boondoggle on our hands. I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing. It was hilarious but it probably stressed Mat out.

I had somebody apply for a co-op IT job that listed as a skill "working on craphical user interfaces". The same guy had printed his resume on the very old dot-matrix printers I remembered from my days at school. The formatting also did not word wrap correctly with every second line consisting of only one word.

My friend received a resume (for McD so explains something) where his hobby was cheerleading. "I throw my girlfriend up in the air AND catch her". Yes he capitalized and bolded the word and.

On a positive note during one interview when asked why he was interested in the position the applicant truthfully admitted he needed a job. It was actually nice to see someone be so honest.

I possess an Associates Degree in Accounting in which I took and passed with A's Computer classes that included Microsoft Word, Access, Excel and Powerpoing. I also type at least 60 WPM with very few errors.

Way to demonstrate your accuracy. She also did not even attach a resume.
