Unfortunately many in HR will just chuck the resumes into the circular file.

A few years ago, after 5 middle management were fired (I was one) I applied for many jobs, but when the HR babe was younger than my youngest child, you knew you had no chance! One such babe (I’m being a lady here) literally looked me up and down and said “do you even KNOW how to work on a computer?” I had to bite my tongue and no, I didn’t get the job.

“do you even KNOW how to work on a computer?”

I would have responded...." I have a lot of experience with the whole computer thing you know, emails, sending emails, receiving emails, deleting emails, I could go on.......The Web. Using a mouse, mices, using mice. Clicking, double clicking. The computer screen, of course. The keyboard. The... bit that goes on the floor down there."
