My brother-in-law sent this to me. It’s from Fortune article in which careerbuilders.com did a survey of the wackiest resume entries. Here are the top 10.
A job candidate …
10. … explained an arrest record by stating, "We stole a pig, but it was a really small pig."
9. … stated that he works well in the nude.
8. … mentioned the fact that her sister had once won a strawberry-eating contest.
7. … listed hobbies that included sitting on a levee at night watching alligators.
6. … drew a picture of a car on the outside of the envelope and said the car would be a gift to the hiring manager.
5. … included a picture of herself in a cheerleading uniform.
4. … specified that his availability to work Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays is limited because the weekends are "drinking time." My personal favorite!
