CV Humors


Curriculum vitae should endorse a job-seeker very well to be hired in a company they are applying for. But the applicants, so much concerned with the structure of their CV's, are silently falling into a much simple yet embarrassing gaffe.

These are just 20 of over tons of really possible comical blunders that an applicant can commit:

  1. “Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year.”
  2. “Reason for leaving last job: maturity leave.”
  3. “Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details.”
  4. Languages: “Speak English and Spinach.”
  5. Experience: “Chapter president, 1887-1992.”
  6. Skills: “I can type without looking at thekeyboard.”
  7. Objective: “Student today. Vice president tomarrow.”
  8. "Speak, read, and wright English/Spanish."
  9. A candidate actually misspelled her own first name, writing "Barbara" as "Barabara."
  10. Instead of "biological organisms," a university job candidate wrote "biological orgasms."
  11. "Psychology professor" became "psycho. professor," and "analytic philosophy" became "anal. philosophy."
  12. In the section that read “Emergency Contact Number” she wrote “911.”
  13. A candidate listed her e-mail address as pornstardelight@*****.com
  14. “Develop and recommend an annual operating expense fudget.”
  15. “I’m a rabid typist.”
  16. Achievements: “Nominated for porn queen.”
  17. “I often use a laptap.”
  18. “Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain store.”
  19. Education: “Have repeated courses repeatedly.”
  20. They write, "I've researched your company and would be a perfect fit." And then they call your company by a competitor's name.
Be sure you proofread your CV's first, or else it'll go directly to the shredder. Speeling matters. Hahaha!
