Common Resume Blunders

Let’s relax a bit and entertain ourselves for a while. Now we know it’s a bad idea to laugh at other people’s mistakes but what we’re going to show you are common resume blunders you might want to avoid (and they are funny!)

Now let’s see why these errors spread the laughter:

The classics from HumorMatters:

“I demand a salary commiserate with my extensive experience.”

“I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0 computor and spreasheet progroms.”

“Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year.”

There’s a reason why typographical errors are the top resume errors, now you see why

The dumb stuff from Resume Hell:

“My hobbies include regular attendance at my local gym and swimming poo”

“Hobbies/Interests: drawing, singing, art, music, surfing the net, collecting Happy Meal toys”

“6/2007 – Present – Supermarket Sales Assistant

i as a online shopper .our dept,its called grossory online.i m a shopper,n do all the work in absence of supervisour n manager.managing the dept well.i.e doing paper work,making sure tht we have enough shoppers n drivers 2 make sure the deliverys is on time,allocating vans to drivers n work to shoppers accordingly.”

“Wendys – Cashier

Successfully handled money. Received money from customers.

And successfully issued the correct amount of change back to the customers”

I think those are self explanatory already… Let’s move on with the others.

The resume gaffe from Linked Intelligence:

“I prefer lunch to be gin at Noon everyday.”

“I want to work in a fast paste environment.”

“Experienced Writter Available”

I’m sure they wrote their resumes in a fast paste way. Looks like it.

Here’s an archive from Resumania:

“EXPERIENCE: More than seven (8) years of general experience, of which more than four (5) years is in analyzing, designing and testing client/server applications.”

“TECHNICAL SKILLS: Phone tap.”

“EQUIPMENT: Human brain 1.0.”

“POSITION DESIRED: Profreader.”

That’s prof enough for you to take a second look at your resume.

Funny mistakes on That Was Funny:

“I am extremely loyal to my present firm, so please don’t let them know of my immediate availability.”

“Note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as ‘job-hopping’. I have never quit a job.”

“Here are my qualifications for you to overlook.”

“Please call me after 5:30 because I am self-employed and my employer does not know I am looking for another job.”

Now we’re hoping their jobs were not at all imaginary.
