Back on the subject of job applications, covering letters and resumes, the following funny I came across as a good example of what NOT to write....not sure if they come from acutal real-life examples...
1. I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0 computor and spreadshit progroms.
2. Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year.
3. Reason for leaving last job: maturity leave.
4. Its best for employers that I not work with people.
5. I was working for my mom until she decided to move.
6. Marital status: single. Unmarried. Unengaged. Uninvolved. No commitments.
7. I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse.
8. My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I possess no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage.
9. Note: Please don't misconstrue my 14 jobs as job-hopping. I have never quit a job.
10. The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers
(scapegoat: par exemple, somebody who has to go when there is company trouble and somebody gets picked for it...)
