Hey Everyone,
I know there's lots of jokes about the "adjective soup" that you can see in a resume. However, I ran into something that actually made me laugh out loud. I have attached a picture.
I'm impressed with the effort this must have taken to achieve.

Hi Michael,
That was pretty unique.
I received a resume once where the candidate stated that he had 'sold enough stuff on Ebay to qualify as a sales executive'
Kind regards

Thank you both for the chuckles I really needed today!
It's nice to share some fun stuff once in a while, on top of the great support we get from each other on work topics.

That's lovely!
Kidding aside, how do you
Kidding aside, how do you deal with candidates applying with those kinds of resumes? It's like 99.99% of resumes I've seen are full of adjectives - primarily because of the influecne of schools and their pride of the "school format."
I mean, if i get those kinds of resumes, those without giving me a reason to invite them, I don't bother spending time trying to scrutinize it.
What happens is that I don't get to even invite people for a face to face interview. Those that I have doubts with, I screen them first via phone. Then, my screening essentially proves my gut-feel about them - that I shouldn't invite them. That leaves me with an open post for a long time.
Oh, still building my network and my bench, so really can't find people there - yet.
