Hilarious Resume Blunders: What Are the Funniest Mistakes You've Seen in Job Applications?

Mahraz
Some very nice goodies found in job applications with the reviewer's comments below it.

===============================================Cov er letter: "I would be prepared to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss what I can do to your company."

That's what we're afraid of ===============================================

Resume: "It is my professional objective to obtain a position which allows me to make use of my commuter skills."

I think we can oblige.

===============================================

Weaknesses: "Suffer from prickly heat in summer."

Sounds uncomfortable.

===============================================

Cover letter: "Enclosed is my resume for your viewing pleasure."

We can hardly wait.

===============================================

Cover letter: "You are privileged to receive my resume."

We'll try not to let it go to our heads.

===============================================

Objective: "To mature in the field of human behavior."

Good luck with that.

===============================================

Experience: "10 years of experience in financail budgiting and transactions rigistering."

But limited experience with the spell-check function.

===============================================

Cover letter: "Please overlook my resume."

If you insist.

===============================================

Cover letter: "I'm submitting the attached copy of my resume for your consumption."

Yummy

===============================================

Skills: "Grate communication skills."

Yes, but can you talk and chop at the same time?

===============================================

Experience: "Responsibilities included recruiting, screening, interviewing and executing final candidates."

Seems kind of harsh ...

===============================================

Cover letter: "Salary demanded - RS 65,000."

Would you like that in small, unmarked bills?

===============================================

Strengths: "Ability to meet deadlines while maintaining composer."

Would that be Mozart or Beethoven?

===============================================

Education: "B.A. in Loberal Arts."

Did you minor in ear piercing?

===============================================

Cover letter: "I've updated my resume so it's more appalling to employers."

We're pretty shocked already … ===============================================

Cover letter: "Seek challenges that test my mind and body, since the two are usually inseparable."

Glad to hear it.

===============================================

Cover letter: "My intensity and focus are at inordinately high levels, and my ability to complete projects on time is unspeakable."

At these extremes, some things are best left unsaid.

===============================================

Cover letter: "Experienced in all faucets of accounting."

That should help with the flow of information.

Thanks for asking Scarecrow...

Yes, Karachi is fine and doing well, and you're absolutely right about it being a happening place. Now that we're all talking about peace and friendship between Pakistan and India, maybe you guys should visit us sometime. I know I'd love to....

Love these.

One that was received by a family member working in education had pages of highly impressive personal and professional information. The effect was somewhat undermined when the last sentence of the covering letter read "I hope you pick me."
