Interactive resume, interview and career tips to spark your technical job search

More Friday resume funnies

That's right.  It's Friday so it's time for me to scour the internet for really bad excerpts from resumes.  Today I throw in some cover letter bonuses, too.  Enjoy.

 

Oh, and have I mentioned I hate cover letters.  Really hate them.  A short and sweet intro email is fine, but oh my gosh, these cover letter lines below are way too familiar.

 

Resumes:

 

I have a bachelorette degree in computers

 

I eat computers for lunch

 

Previous experience: Self-employed -- a fiasco

 

Married, eight children. Prefer frequent travel

 

Objectives: 10-year goal: Total obliteration of sales and federal income taxes and tax laws

 

Cover letters:

 

I saw your ad on the information highway, and I came to a screeching halt.

 

Please disregard the attached resume -- it is terribly out of date.

 

My fortune cookie said, 'Your next interview will result in a job' -- and I like your company in particular.

 

I don't usually blow my own horn, but in this case, I will go right ahead and do so.

 

You are privileged to receive my resume.
