ResuMESS #3

If you are not familiar with the ResuMESS posts, check out the intro & disclaimers in post #1 of the series. This post is about people who just couldn't manage to put that final polish on their resume. (These were found by searching for resumes containing the words booty, freaky, psycho, loser, and maybe a few others I'm forgetting).

RESUME excerpt 1
OBJECTIVE: My objective is to find a good, stable job that I enjoy going to everyday. I am a really hard worker and any of my previous employers can tell you that. If I can find the right job, I hope to be able to finally settle down and stay in one area so I may achieve my other goals in life. Those of which are to go back to school and maybe start a family.

Sounds nice and/or harmless, until you get to her contact info: psycho_pussy_bitch@.......


RESUME excerpt 2
Industry: Restaurants/Food and Drink Services
Cashier/Boards
On Boards I just made fries, counted nuggets, and made sandwiches. On Register, I just took orders, and bagged orders. Both make you learn patience fairly quick. You also learn to smile and say "my pleasure" even when you feel horrible. Or even if you're customer is a complete and total loser face that needs to get their panties out of a wad!!! So yes. I'll say I learned patience and tolerance from my short time of work experience.


RESUME excerpt 3
I have exceptional grammar, an eye for creativity, fast thinking and well organized. If anyone knows, most jobs look for the best. In my case I work hard to be the best that I can be. I give my all to whatever I do and expect nothing less from myself. So in my life any job that deals with the public and working with others only adds to the sweet fun of working.

Drumroll please, for the contact info of this outstanding professional woman: Freaky_kitten420@.......


RESUME excerpt 4
Let's start with this dream-candidate's email: super_freaky_chick2002@.... and see if the resume lives up to our first impression:

Industry: Retail
non foods clerk
throwing loads, stocking shelves


Industry: Retail
meat/ seafood clerk
wrapping meat, meat prep


EDUCATION:
west high school
drill team


We have a winner.


RESUME excerpt 5
Let's see what Jennifer wants to do in her next job. The email on her oh-so-professional resume is: booty_72787@.....

OBJECTIVE: I would like to get into a job that has a growth potential.

I got yer growth potential right here!

At the end of her resume, she gives as a reference this unfortunately-named gentleman:
Reference Name: Nick Bush

and this possible drug dealer:
Reference Name: Crystal Price


RESUME excerpt 6
Kimberly (aka litt_ghetto_booty@......) has this Objective:
To gain the knowledge and skills to become a professionalist.

I think she's going to be a loserist for a while.


RESUME excerpt 7
Erica (aka dominican_qt_witha_booty@.....) has the most double-entendre-laden Objective so far, in addition to the nicest rhyming slitty email address:
I'm kind hearted and patient, always willing to lend a helping hand. Good at prioritizing and executing workloads. I work well under pressure and i want to explore new things. I'm very open minded and am willing to try just about anything.


RESUME excerpt 8
Joy (aka booty_tum@......) has this in-depth desciption of her past employment

Jc Penneys
I was a chasier in the childrens dept.

"Come here you little brats!"

Skills
I can do anything asked of me even if im alone their is nothing i cant handle.

At least she isn't overly hard on herself.

ResuMESS #2

In contrast to the resumes from my first post, these seem to be intentionally funny. If you don't know where these are coming from, please read the introduction & disclaimers on my ResuMESS #1.

---------------------------- RESUME 1 ----------------------------

Position: I made love to her every night! I love her pussy

Most Recent Employer: Your Mom

Education : PhD - fucking your sister

---------------------------- RESUME 2 ----------------------------

B. Shields

I am interested in applying for any position (within reason). I would enjoy the opportunity to be a manager figuring on how I am much smarter than everybody else, I also command respect. In any position I would require a salary based off a 40 hour work week however, I'd probably only work around 30 (not including my lunch breaks). I find that I can control people very well. I know it is important to maintain eye contact with my customers and employees as I tell them they are wrong. Then depending on my mood, give in or not. I enjoy inventing and painting and realize that I hold many of the secrets of the universe. I'd like to say I know the truth about alien life but I don't. I do wear a magnetic bracelet so that they can't read my bio-magnetic brain waves. I do feel that they have been monitoring me in other means though. I work best in a low stress no result oriented environment. I feel that this experience shows the professionalism I've acquired as well the parallelism. One thing I am getting tired of is dumb people getting better paying jobs than me. It doesn't make sense and the reality is I'm not joking just look around and you'll see it. I enjoy working in a fast paced environment and I would waste time on my shift playing on the internet. I am sick of Sally the toothless retard getting better pay than me. Essentially I'm not a fucking stupid idiot and it pisses me off to no end that I am doing this. It is evident from my resume and ranting that I have a solid work history and a high IQ, which shows my dependability and drive. Probably the best way to get a decent job around here is to simply state "I LIKEJOB. I THINK JOB PRETTY!". It would most likely have better results. I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this in person and may be contacted via email or telephone at your earliest convenience.

---------------------------- RESUME 10 ----------------------------

EMPLOYMENTOBJECTIVE
I want to do stuff for somebody all day long. I'll work overtime. I ain't afraid. In the end, all I need out of the deal is a paycheck I can cash.

EDUCATION: University of Idaho

EXPERIENCE
University of Idaho, English T.A.
So I finally graduated. "I'm going to be a professor!" I decided, so I jumped straight into grad school. And I taught freshman composition. My classes always finished twenty minutes early. My students loved me (except for that one little bastard . . .) But, I decided I needed to leave acadamia and enter the real world!

Applebee's, Dishwasher
Ah, my first job with my first college degree. I thought a job washing dishes would be a nice change. I quit after three days.

Moss Greenhouses, Labor Boy
And so I decided I needed an outside job in the open fresh-air. I thought working with plants and flowers would be Zen-like. But, I didn't like working with old ladies who smoked cigarettes all day and who bragged about how valuable they were to the fucking company. I quit after three days.

Donnelly's Sports, Screen Printer
Then, luckily, the same day I quit the greenhouses a drinking buddy offered me a job printing t-shirts. This job was perfect for me. I was so good that I soon gained respect around that place. After a month I started showing up late and leaving early. I was untouchable. I could do that job with a blinding hangover. Good thing too, our favorite drinking hole was located on the same block.

Sawtooth Photography, Photographer/Lab tech
The only job I've ever loved. I was serious with this one. I'd work about fourteen days straight photographing tourists on the Salmon River, processing the film, and selling the pictures. I'm going back too, so if you hire me, just know that I'll be taking this summer off. It's supposed to be a high water year.

Big Elk Mountain Outfitters, Labor Boy
Yeah, after the photo gig, I went to work stocking some hunting camps. I was supposed to train to be a hunting guide, but I pussed out. I quit after a month.

Black Hills Construction, Roofer
So I met this hot chick, right? Well I followed her to Washington and after a month took up roofing. But, I'm from the deserts of Southern Idaho where it rains like five times a year. It rains everyday here. I hate the rain, really. So, I quit after three days.

SKILLS
Nobody plays video games like me. Nobody.

ResuMESS #1

Through my job, I have the ability to search some of the major resume-posting websites and I sometimes entertain myself by playing a round of The Stupid Resume Game.

1) search for a term or phrase that is so stupid only an imbecile would put it on his/her/its resume
2) if you find resumes matching your stupid search, you win!

Upon winning:
3) express shock and/or glee at seeing hits for your stupid search
3) click through the results and laugh (or cry) at the state of American education

Advanced players sometimes investigate the geographic, racial or socio-political demographics of search results. If you choose to play, do this at your own risk, since it frequently leads to the reinforcement of stereotypes which, as we all know, are bad & wrong.

To head off any spoil-sports, here are my disclaimers:

NOTE 1: I have deleted any personally identifying information from the resumes, so don’t yell at me for invading someone’s privacy.

NOTE 2: I have not included the entire resume, just the funny parts.

NOTE 3: I don’t correct any grammar or spelling in the resume excerpts and I also don’t pay much attention to my own grammar & spelling on this blog. But making fun of stupid resumes is not hypocritical, because this blog is written for no purpose other than to amuse me. Contrast that with a resume, which is the thing that people hope makes the best possible first impression on a potential Employer (you know, the entity you are hoping will give you money as the result of what your resume says you can do).

Enough with the conversating.

My most recent game was played by searching for resumes containing the non-word “conversate.” I hope you enjoy the excerpts below as much as I did, since I found much more to laugh at than just someone using "conversate" in a sentence.

-------------------------------------- RESUME 1 --------------------------------------

Resume Headline: smart minded employee

OBJECTIVE:
My main focus in this current job search is quite simple. I would like to find something that not only brings in a steady paycheck but peace of mind as well.

EXPERIENCE:
