ReplyDeleteYou know... I would like to believe that these are all examples of people's resumes where English wasn't their first language... But honestly, ESL applicants probably have better English skills than most people who were born to it... So sad, and yet, so funny too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steph! :-)
I had one applicant a few weeks ago who had a weird cover letter. It had cliparts on the side and had a title, of all things! I showed it to my colleague, and the immediate comment was “Well, you can give him an A for effort”. From then on, he was immortalized as Effort Guy.
ReplyDeleteBut Effort Guy’s story didn’t end there. After getting over the clipart, I started reading the cover letter, and it started like this:
“Can I slice a minute of your time?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No. *shreds*
Oh Ruby... that's AWESOME SAUCE!! Thanks for sharing!
