I worked for an engineering for over ten years. One day, I was in the Human Resources office, taking care of business. The HR Manager was going to throw some employee applications away because of the date of expiration, and he asked me if I wanted to see them, before he threw them out. I said sure, and, for the first time, I saw someone else's employment application, etc. And, what I saw that day...makes you wonder what school these people went to...of if they went to school at all...

There were about 30 folders in the pile, and I went through all of them and just scanned them...and what I saw would make a teacher turn over in their grave. 

Every conceivable mistake; miss-spelled words; sloppiness; carelessness, etc., and these people are submitting their job applications and resumes and asking for money in the form of a job. 

If I were the HR Manager, I would not have accepted none of these applications, and I would have thrown them away.  But, state laws required him to keep them in file for six months, etc.  Some of these people said on their applications, that they had college degrees.  Hard to believe...

Anyway, here are a feu resume blopers, which I hope will bring a smil to your fase...and their's no neede to thanc me...

"I'm extremely loyal to my present firm, so please don't let them know of my present availability." 

QUALIFICATIONS:

"I am a man filled with passion and integrity, and I can act on short notice.  I am a class act, and I don't come cheap." 

"I intentionally omitted my salary history.  I've made money and I've lost money.  I've been rich and I've been poor.  I'd rather be rich."

'Was met with a string of broken promises; lies and cockroaches." 

"I was working for my mom, until whe decided to move." 

"The company made me a scapegoat...just like the other 3 companies." 

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES: 
"While I am open to the intial nature of an assignment, I am decidedly disposed, that it be so oriented as to, as least, partially incorporate the experience enjoyed heretofore...and that it be continued so as to ultimately lead to the application of rarefied facet of financial managementas the major sphere of responsibility." 

"I was proud to win the Gregg Typting Award." 

"Please call me after 5:30, because I am self-employed and my employer doesn't know I'm looking for another job." 

"My goal is to be a meteorologist, but because I don't have any training, I suppose I should try stock brokroage."

WORK EXPERIENCE;

"Develop and recomment an annual operating fudget."

"I'm a rabid typist."
