(www.inkthinkerblog.com) — Yesterday I stumbled across a hilarious list of 150 resume mistakes, bloopers, and blunders that had me laughing out loud. How funny are they? Well, let’s put it this way: “I am a wedge with a sponge taped to it. My purpose is to wedge myself into someone’s door to absorb as much as possible.” Uh, okay…

Fantastic link! Some of the bloopers read like bad pickup lines!
Oh, man… total LAUGH OUT LOUD material! Ha!!!! Thanks for sharing!
@Kaarin, they totally do! I think my favorite resume ut-oh was a guy who listed the reason for leaving his last job as, “My new boss was a total butthead so I quit.”
@Rachel, glad you enjoyed it! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Some of these are completely unbelievable, but at the same time, I totally believe there are people this stupid out there.

For years my resume said something like “I have extensive pubic speaking skills” A member of a board of directors I was applying to be on pointed it out to me and I promptly removed “pubic” from my computer’s dictionary. Very embarrassing.
