Resumes are designed to tell a story…a very important story; the story of your life. A resume is perhaps the most important story ever reduced to paper for most people. Many lives can be affected by a person’s resume and for that reason alone, they should be the most proof-read article printed. A resume will make or break the possibility of a job interview. Over the course of my life as a recruiter, I have amassed some of the most humorous mistakes I’ve seen in actual resumes.
The following words have NOT been altered in any way, shape or form. What you see is what I saw when I opened the resume on my computer in an attempt to decide whether or not this candidate should be shown to my client for a current job opening. Keep in mind that I only open resumes that originally caught my eye and led me to believe I might make a placement with this particular candidate. Unfortunately each of these blunders caused me to reconsider. I hope you enjoy.
