Sure Fire Ways To Get Your Resume Trashed
Update! There’s more:
7. Address your cover sheet to a different company.
6. Use the term “out of the box” in any fashion whatsoever.
5. Use the typeface Sand.
4. Use the typeface Sand with a bevel, emboss, colored drop shadow AND atleast three lens flares.
3. Include incoherent sentences, e.g., “I am a fast study.” in your cover sheet.
2. End your cover sheet with, “Please give me a chance.” This makes you look, to both employers AND women, completely pathetic.
1. Spell your OWN name incorrectly.

I’m still trying to figure out how to get a rotating flaming guitar animated gif on my resume.

Sadly, I think my resume may have been this outdated/pathetic when I just went to update it and start looking for new jobs.
Ok, not THIS pathetic!
