Ha ha ha haaaa!!!!!!
I love it. Is that a real ad?
As much as it may upset the Culture of Made-up Names; this is EXACTLY what white people think.
Yeah, those indicators mean “trouble employee”.
LOL!
I mean seriously! Choking foot stomping tears in the eyes LOL!
ping on #15 and #29.
On 15 I could list quite a few that I work with, I usually refer to them as miss last name, for fear I will start laughing when using their first name.
ping should be on 20 in last post- I am still laughing about that pic.
I have trouble typing when I am laughing
I pointed out to co-worker that the advent of email (formerly memos) created so much useless garbage.
I am a low level employee at a large corp, I get anywhere from 500 to 100 emails per week. 90% are useless or less than useless. However I need to scan each at least so as not miss the one important one hiding amongst all the others.
I probably waste 4 to 5 hours a week just reading, deleting or saving all this useless crap.
So my job qualification is reading useless BS emails from useless BS co-workers that are clogging up my email box.
I probably should not put that on my resume.
My resume is 3 pages, then I sometimes add a 2 page list of the different types of power plants and different design disciplines I applied in each.
It seems to have worked: Been “out of work” (looking for a job) only three weeks since since 1974. For the last four job changes, I stop working at one contract or company and begin the next day at the next one. Guess I’m breaking the rules there ...
The real question is, how many Americans are employed to produce something necessary or useful? A big service economy can only be supported by big manufacturing production.
Having read a few myself, I will say that a resume that starts off with a job objective such as “a full-time position that will provide personal fulfillment and empower me to take the next step in my career” is probably headed for the round file. I don’t give a rat’s rump what you want out of the job. What matters is what the job wants out of you.
If the format is not appealing or the first misspell it goes bye bye.
Because you should never hire that which you cannot fire.
This sounds like a Dilbert episode!! Seriesly!
Ppl who do not use a spell checker, should be dumped. It indicates they lack word processing knowledge, some form of illiteracy, and don’t care.
“The trouble with that is two-fold: the HR world is populated mostly by females and very few of those have any military service so there’s no appreciation for the skills and experience gained in the military.”
Under special skills and training put “killing people and breaking things”.
HR chicks dig those qualifications. /s
That’s the first pass, which will screen out a _lot_ of applicants.
Problem today is with digital distribution and resume mills, a whole lotta applicants just send their resume to darned near anyone they can imagine, leaving managers with a huge pile of mostly-inappropriate resumes. People will apply for a director-level position when their name, prior company name, and school name don’t add up to a likely viable candidate. Many companies have learned it’s better to discard a winning applicant than to hire a losing one. Once they’ve narrowed the pile down to a manageable number (remember, minutes add up fast), _then_ they’ll start digging into whether they’ve actually got a realistic fit for that director level position.
BTW: if you’re really talking director (or other high-) level positions, far more likely candidates will be chosen by non-resume connections. My current position came from knowing the right person at the right time, not a resume.
Oh, and just to rankle you more: other studies show that most in-person interviews are decided in the first 2 seconds. Yes, just 2 seconds - 1/3rd the time they spent scanning the resume.

At least you’re honest. Have you seen “Office Space”? It’s better to laugh than cry. I’ve worked with all of those people.
The first thing that I looked at is what they do with their spare time. If I couldn't see some hands-on, creative hobbies, I looked not further.
