CV tips… when going into Nam
UPDATE: Problem is fixed now. Some articles were posted a while ago because of site change.
I decided that i need a “real” job at the moment, primarily to meet some new people and to take my main interest off of the site. I figured a lot has happened since i last wrote a CV/Resume and because of that time gap i looked up some “CV tips”. Loads of CV tips for teenagers came up… naturally i assumed they would be easy to read and laborious so i clicked on them. What i saw shocked me.
I am pretty sure that this site concentrates on one type of CV, for one type of job… child labor. Instead of the half-legible writing i was expecting to find, i found a collection of large, bubble font writing that looked although it had been aimed at children; children who were going into Nam (or some other war that we lost…).
The tips were short and simple, making it easy for children and illiterate hobo’s to read. I took the liberty of copying some of the tips for you. There were tips like “Learn some self defense tactics”, “Trust your gut feeling”, “Carry a cellphone with you at all times”, “Be ready for attacks - ready to run”. I bullshit you not, those were the EXACT tips i found on the page, if you’re that atrabilious to want proof, then i will be unhappy to email you the page.
Despite these “tips” being absolutely nothing to do with writing a resume i proceeded with my reading and as the tips became more and more ludicrous i stopped and thought about what kind of jobs these tips could be intended for. Here’s a list i came up with:
- Hooker
- Soldier
- Gang leader
- Politician
- Pizza boy
- Hooker
- Prostitute
- Stripper
As you can see i carried on until i got bored and my mind just started thinking about women.
Apart from the obvious fact that the amount of crap t
his site was throwing out was tantamount to the detail it contained i can’t help but wonder - who wrote it? After more laid back hours passed by, the best scenario i could think of for this Webster’s author was that they were a mental patient who had written an inscription on his cell wall containing a series of imaginary tips what he would come across when he got out and into the world of work. He would obviously need to write a CV for his job application so this is what he wrote it about. Somehow this seldom excuse for a site was hosted by a company who deemed the information to be “useful” instead of “delusional”.
My IE (Internet Explorer) is not working, which, even though i use Firefox has put an abrupt halt to my FTP, this has forced the delay of this update. Fucking malware.
