Funny Resume Mishaps

I was recently referred to a website, Funny Resume Mistakes which outlined a few very funny resume mishaps. The following examples are unprofessionally structured and should be avoided at all costs.

1.   Experience: “Demonstrated ability in multi-tasting.”
2. Job Duties: “Answer phones, file papers, respond to customer e-mails, take odors
3. Objective: “I would like to work for a company that is very lax when it comes to tardiness.”
4.   .   Skills: “I can type without looking at thekeyboard.”
5. Experience: “Chapter president, 1887-1992.”
6. Skills: “I have integrity so I will not steal office supplies and take them home.”
7. Languages: “Speak English and Spinach.
8. Skills: “Written communication = 3 years; verbal communication = 5 years.”
9. Application: “Q: In what local areas do you prefer to work? A: Smoking.
10. Application: Why should an employer hire you? “I bring doughnuts on Friday.
11. Awards: “National record for eating 45 eggs in two minutes.
12. Interests: “Gossiping.” 

It imperative that you thoroughly revise your resume before submitting it to employers. Spelling errors can be easily avoided and is never acceptable. The same is true for grammatical and content errors. A good way to minimize likelihood of error is to have friends, family and colleagues revise your resume for you prior to submission.
