Nothing like a career in staffing to make you really wonder about your fellow humans. We all have amazing stories to tell and here is a selection of intriguing résumé excerpts, gleaned from a number of sources. These are all allegedly true:
- Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain store.
- Personal interests: Donating blood. 15 gallons so far.
- References: None, I’ve left a path of destruction behind me.
- I am loyal to my employer at all costs . . . . Please respond to my resume on my office voice mail.
- Extensive background in accounting. I can also stand on my head.
- Proven ability to track down and correct erors.
- Finished 8th in my high school graduating class of 10.
- Note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as job-hopping. I have never quit a job.
- Reason for leaving: They insisted that all employees get to work by 8:45 every morning. Couldn’t work under those conditions.
- Please call me after 5:30 because I am self-employed and my employer does not know that I am looking for another job.
