Some CV bloopers

Self-knowledge is a useful quality in a candidate. Recruiters are keen to learn more about their applicants, but sometimes, those folks can give a little too much information. Here are some CV bloopers we've picked up that made us laugh out loud:

· Hobbies: "getting drunk every night down by the water, playing my guitar and smoking pot”

· Why Interested in Position? "to keep my parole officer from putting me back in jail”

· Hobbies: "Drugs and girls”.

· Under "job related skills” - for a web designer - "can function without additional oxygen at 24,000 feet”.

· One CV stating the applicant wished to pursue a challenging account executive position with a rival firm.

· Objective: "career on the Information Supper Highway”

· Experience: "Stalking, shipping & receiving”

· "I am great with the pubic.”

· A candidate listed her e-mail address as pornstardelight@*****.com

· One electronic CV included links to a homepage, where there were pictures of the applicant in the nude.

· "…sent out my resume on the back side of a draft of a cover letter to another firm…”

· "My duties included cleaning the restrooms and seating the customers.”

· One applicant for a nursing position noted that she didn't like dealing with blood or needles.

· A CV… was printed on the back of the person's current employer's letterhead.

· A CV… had several grease stains and a smudge of chocolate on it
