Resumé Suicide



I don't get it. What is with people? EVERY resume that we have gotten today has had spelling errors, or grammatical errors, or just doesn't show anything useful. There is one, it's two pages long and looks fancy and fairly professional, but the information provided is exactly like the one I posted yesterday! It conveys absolutely nothing useful at all!

There is another, the prospective interviewee has written their resume in Seek and has just linked us to their Seek resume page rather than taking the time to bother doing up a professional looking one himself. His content is reasonable, and I will admit it does look fairly professional, but then you start to read it, and there are lower case headings, comma's at the end of sentences and so on. It would be nice to get a decent looking resume for once. I thought this job of knocking back people would be hard since I don't like to hurt peoples feelings or anything, but some of these resume's make it pretty easy, he hasn't even capitalized the first letters of his first and last name!

On an interesting and slightly less...annoying...note, one in three of the applicants live within a five minute walk of my place.
