World's worst resume content


After going through a few hundreds of thousands of resumes this month, I have to say, it's absolutely horrific what some people write. I can't imagine why people would ever write these things knowing that an employer might read it. Believe it or not, here's a small sample of what real people have written and been submitting at large:

Personal strength:

- I only procrastinate when I have to make a decision.
- you shuld give me the job cos i am reely gude at everithing i do
- i'm honest and reliable. my wife has just left me, I burnt down my house and I've got a drink and drugs problem
- For the last twelve years I have been involved in gang crime including burglary, drug dealing, extortion, armed robbery and internet scams. With such insider information I would make an ideal politician
