Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen" - Khanvalescent, on 06/02/2008, -0/+154On one of my past resumes, I was lazy and just used a Microsoft Word template. Part of it included an Objective heading and section. I planned to change the objective for each resume I sent out, tailoring it for the job. Anyway, so for the main version, I just entered "EZ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" as the objective, figuring that would be jarring enough for me to change it before printing.
Next day I had a total brain failure, and sent out about four copies before I remembered "EZ $$$$$$$$$$$$" was my objective. - Dabaum, on 06/01/2008, -9/+132"Hobbies: 'Drugs and girls'."
Amen - mikephimikephi, on 06/02/2008, -0/+94“It’s best for employers that I not work with people.”
absolute classic! - mearom, on 06/02/2008, -6/+92Most diggers just drug girls

- ryan926, on 06/02/2008, -1/+85Wow, a lot of these people must have attended the Redundancy School of Redundancy.
- jggube, on 06/01/2008, -7/+76"Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details." - haha!
- AltairMetamorf, on 06/02/2008, -2/+64Reason for leaving last job: “Bounty hunting was outlawed in my state.”
Those bastards! What's next? Outlaw targeted killings? ... oh wait... - SMOKIEdaBEAR04, on 06/02/2008, -0/+62Reason for leaving: “Pushed aside so the vice president’s girlfriend could steal my job.”
Now that sucks! - baylat, on 06/02/2008, -19/+81[insert quote from the list here]
[insert comment about it here] - RandomGorilla, on 06/02/2008, -0/+58I dunno about a few of these. I mean, speaking Spinach is more useful than you think.

My ***** was diced up when i read that - skaughtm, on 06/02/2008, -1/+53i read a resume where the kid misspelled diploma as "dibloma". now he's my boss.
- belcorriko, on 06/01/2008, -5/+56All those are nothing... I got this on a resume sent to me for a graphic designer position a few months ago:
Burlington Coat Factory, Kansas City, MO
January 2006 - November 2007
accesory's dept.
Well, Basically i had my own dept. because i was full-time in the dept. everyone else quit because the sais i was challenging i put the buzzers on the purses stocked them organized the earings/braclets and etc. - mariofreak85, on 06/02/2008, -1/+49 “I have a lifetime’s worth of technical expertise (I wasn’t born - my mother simply chose ‘eject child’ from the special menu.”
I'd hire that guy as a Mac Genius any day - Charnoble, on 06/02/2008, -0/+46“I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse.” - I'm totally using that on my next job interview. . . I can't wait to hold back my laughter and see them just stare at me.
- scrotumbrau, on 06/02/2008, -0/+44I once had someone include a story about a family of ducks that lived in his back yard and how he liked to watch them. The details he went into were beyond creepy.
- TonyLocNE, on 06/02/2008, -2/+44I should probably go back through my resume and look for spelling airs since they seem to be the most common.
- Hangly, on 06/02/2008, -0/+41I have a friend who used to register all his pirated software under the pseudonym "Ootag the Drunk."
When he sent his resumes out the fax software he was using attached his registration info at the bottom of each one without telling him. All his resumes said "From Ootag the Drunk" in the footer.
I think he told me he got a job because of that. - romistrub, on 06/02/2008, -1/+42"My duties included cleaning the restrooms and seating the customers."
I don't understand why this is bad...
Also: "Seeking a party-time position with potential for advancement."
I'm going to put this on my resume :D - craighoxton, on 06/02/2008, -0/+39"1994-1999 - Door gunner on Space shuttle"
- BossKey, on 06/02/2008, -0/+37so did the girlfriend, apparently
- deanimate, on 06/02/2008, -14/+50"Candidate explained a gap in employment by saying it was because he was getting over the death of his cat for three months."
what on earth is wrong with that? some people do actually love their cats you know. to some they're not just "pets" or "animals", they're family.
mrrrow :D - seraph582, on 06/02/2008, -2/+38your "***** was diced up?!"
I have the sudden urge to strangle you. - freefoodisgood, on 06/02/2008, -0/+33I used to be a cashier at a restaurant and we got hilarious applications all of the time. The worst had to be one submitted by the least educated person I have ever seen. The application stated she was a middle school drop out, was riddled with spelling and grammar errors, and in the references section, beside each name and under the "Time Known" column she wrote "in the mornings," "mainly in the evenings," and "all day" for her three references.
- santaliqueur, on 06/02/2008, -4/+34Sounds like the writing of an above-average intelligence Digg user.
- Hangly, on 06/02/2008, -0/+30Bounty hunting is a real job in a lot of places. While unusual, I don't see how it's a blooper.
- inactive, on 06/02/2008, -2/+29What's the blooper with number 2?
“1990 - 1997: Stewardess - Royal Air Force” - StevenJV, on 06/02/2008, -0/+26Wonder what the response was, if any
- MikeyTwit, on 06/02/2008, -0/+26Years ago when I worked retail, I saw one resume come through from someone I knew in passing an DID NOT want working for us. I didn't have to worry when she put down past experience "stalking shelves". Our shelves were safe since we never hired her.
- thomasnikl, on 06/02/2008, -4/+29Holy *****- I think I interviewed a few of these people! :)
- Zephik, on 06/02/2008, -2/+26You know what I bet happened? I bet someone accidentally dugg the guy down, then realized his mistake, then realized how awesome the new comment system is and took back his negative digg and turned into a positive!
I love this new comment system! ...uh I mean... that "guy" loves this new comment system! xD - RonnyN, on 06/02/2008, -1/+25I received a: "consistently contributed to the success and failure of projects" on a resume once :)
- inactive, on 06/02/2008, -7/+30150 eh? Couldn't just stop at 10? It's worse than watching a 4 hour run on VH1 of the top 100 hottest sluts.
- jasdf, on 06/02/2008, -0/+22This isn't a blooper. They Royal Air Force has stewardesses, as does the US Air Force.

- cpsutcliffe, on 06/02/2008, -0/+22The RAF has passenger jets and stewardesses, they call them loadmasters
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/02/2008, -8/+29"spelling airs" ...I see what you did there.
- DreKor, on 06/02/2008, -1/+22I'm still trying to figure out if having your "***** diced up" is a good thing or a bad thing.
- BigBrasky, on 06/02/2008, -0/+19Everyone can see which comment you are replying to. We don't need you to quote him.
- KaJuN4, on 06/02/2008, -0/+19I don't get how a lot of those should be considered mistakes. The whole interviewing process is ridiculous. They expect you to put on the same fake front as every other applicant even though you'll act very differently once you're in the workplace. Then the company has to spend time and money training new people who will eventually be fired because their lifestyle doesn't support the company or some B.S. like that. Meanwhile someone who would have been perfect for the job had they not been required to act like an interview robot is going through the same tedious process all over again somewhere else.
It's like ordering a new car without seeing it first. Everything looks great on paper but once you get it it's horrible. - Joshuarr, on 06/01/2008, -5/+23Wow! Resume bloopers! My Sunday afternoons used to be so valuable.
- theotheragentm, on 06/02/2008, -0/+18I got to read over one that was emailed in to our company. The resume itself was fine, but the idiot forgot to change her display name on her Yahoo account.
Anastasia Beaverhausen - quetzzz, on 06/02/2008, -0/+18Did you get the job?
- ohsoserial, on 06/02/2008, -3/+20Haha! Typos are hi-larious!
/facepalm - michael1406, on 06/02/2008, -6/+23Because you have to be a ***** pussy to mourn for three months over a cat.
- yacks, on 06/02/2008, -0/+16actually if he was applying to sell dog food, I bet he got the job.
- RevJonathan, on 06/02/2008, -0/+16*Ahem* Cracked, I'm looking at you!
