  • This resoma brought me pain

    *spelling mistake in title intentional*
    We had someone fax over a resume that was... oh dear God... where to start... I think I'll just copy it (identifying information removed) for the post.
    His coverletter wasn't too bad, aside from being hand written, but dear God, the job experience part... my eyes, they bleed.
    *formatting copied as best as possible*

    OK, now that my eye hemoridge has stopped... where to begin... first, CAPS LOCK KEY ASSHOLE.
    Second, spell check.
    Third, a few hints about resumes... keep on point... you got employee of the year (how I'm not sure), great, say that you got employee of the year and what year and leave it at that, you don't have to go on and on about getting called into the office and being offered dinner.
    Fourth- grammar, learn it, love it, live it.

    Oh shit, I know there's more, but my brain just exploded.

        Somehow I get the impression that he(?) is always on time for his shifts. I wonder what gave me that impression?

              In defense of this person it clearly seems like English is NOT his or her first language. That's no excuse for not getting someone to proofread it of course, but I think what we have here is an honest attempt at a resume for someone who:

              1. Is not completely fluent in English
              2. Has never written their own resume before.

                Agreed. I'd call it a fair first attempt for someone semi-literate. The person may well have strong points which would make him a good candidate for a job where literacy is not significant.

                He's also capable of communicating what's important, even in written form. I've seen far more literate people do much worse jobs of getting the important information across!
                Seshat's self-help guide:
                1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                  sadly though (and giving credit, the applicant may not have known it), all employees at the hotel are required to be literate because we all must fill out shift reports (all except the housekeepers, which he was not applying for).
