On a lighter note, the following made me laugh, and maybe you’ll chuckle a little bit too. They were actually included in emails, cover letters and resumes of applicants for employment with one of my clients...
Actual email addresses:
whippey17@
deafwalker38@

muffin102@

kikiboyee21@
hilltown48@

Actual quotes - These items were listed as relevant skills on resumes:
- "Hardworking, driven, very organized with a keen Fashion sense."
- "Typing: 25+ words per minute"
- "I have excellent communication skills. I am a very multi task individual"
- "I love to meat new people and try new opportunities."
- "Perform routine daily tasks without boredom"
These items were listed on cover letters:
- "Please consider my documented successes, and accept my interest in learning more about your opportunity."
- "I would welcome an opportunity to apply my well-developed skills set to your potential needs."
- “I am sure a college student must scream 'inexperience,' but I must assure you that I have had plenty of experience."
- "I look forward to contributing to a peaceful and professional work environment."
- "I am a dedicated work and must finish my work on a timely manor."
Yes, I’m sure you’re shaking your head too. Is there any doubt why these people are looking for work?
