One of those emails coming to my inbox this morning :)

Computer Repair         Caller : Hi, our printer is not working. Customer Service: What is wrong with it? Caller : Mouse is jammed. Customer Service: Mouse?  Printers don't have a mouse. Caller: Mmmmm??.. Oh really?... I will send a picture.                         Scroll down

This landed in my inbox today :)

If you're still wondering what works and what doesn't, here's a list of real things that employers read on résumés that they deemed to be "weird and wacky:"

"I always tell people to include their relocation details up top of their résumé and I received one that read, 'Researching condoms in the local Washington, DC area'."
--Heather R. Huhman, founder and president of Come Recommended

"One of the weirdest résumés I ever received was from someone who had a statement at the top about how dependable he was and then a doodle of him on a skateboard."
-- Huhman

"I once received a résumé with three pages worth of résumé packed onto one page by putting it in 7 point font. You needed a microscope to read it."
--Huhman

"People have sent me résumés with the words 'fast paced' spelled incorrectly. I have seen 'face paced,' 'fast paised' and my favorite one of all times, 'fast paste'."
-- Abby Kohut, president and staffing consultant at Staffing Symphony, LLC

"Some people do not know how to abbreviate 'assistant.' You really should not be abbreviating titles (or much else) on your résumé. To me, it indicates laziness in that you don't want to spend the time typing the extra letters. But if you're going to abbreviate 'assistant,' please use 'Asst' not 'Ass'."
-- Kohut

"I once reviewed a résumé that was handwritten on lined yellow paper. One of the jobs was listed as 'Central Intelligence Agency, Langley, VA,' and the description of the job was, 'I'm not authorized to divulge the nature of my job duties while in the employ of the CIA'."
--Sue Thompson, The Potentialist at Set Free Life Seminars LLC

"I once had a candidate for a marketing assistant position who had worked in a supermarket very early in his career and, for that job; he listed as one of his responsibilities, 'cut the cheese'."
-- Anonymous hiring manager at a large staffing firm

"A coffee stain. Yes, I once received a résumé with a partial coffee cup ring stain on it. I believe I used the résumé as a coaster."
-- Patrick Scullin, founding partner and executive creative director for Ames Scullin O'Haire Inc.

"Dirt. The résumé was intentionally smeared with mud. I don't recall what the intent was. I immediately threw it away."
-- Scullin

"A résumé from a part-time model. Included with her résumé was a 4x6 card showing her in various poses and at the bottom it read 'good hands.' She was applying for a corporate position."
-- Cathleen Faerber, The Wellesley Group, Inc.

"The gentleman that included his picture (not a flattering one) and the declaration that he was single and lived with his mother -- this was disclosed right under his picture and was the initial comment on his résumé prior to any career objective or work information."
Faerber

"Under 'reason for leaving' [the applicant] stated 'threat of death'."
-- Faerber

"It seems that my credentials would be a good fit for what you are looking to accomplish, however, I don't wish to make a career of it."
-- Michael Becce, CEO of MRB Public Relations Inc.

"I think the goofiest thing I saw on a résumé was a person who listed one of their special skills as Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. They were applying for an accounting position, so it makes absolutely no sense why they would have that on there."
--Sky Opila, online résumé service BriteTab.com

"The other one was a gentleman who put his marital status as 'single, but looking' on the résumé! I don't understand what these folks were thinking..."
-- Opila

"I think I was fired because my previous employer was racist."
-- Laura Koelling, HR department for a catering company in St. Louis

"I left when I filed workman's comp against my employer. It just got too complicated."
Koelling

"I didn't like working at the strip club because I felt exposed."
-- Koelling

"The résumé said 'ecxellent attention to detail.' Yes, 'excellent' was misspelled!"
-- Molly Wendell, a job-networking expert and author of "The New Job Search"

"Some applicants gave me too much information in the name of their résumé. For example, 'LizSmithCorrectedRésumé' [What if I preferred the incorrect version?] or 'Moms Résumé.' [Hey Mom ... are your kids returning the favor for all of the homework you did for them in school? Are you going to have them do your job for you once you're hired as well?]"
-- Wendell

"Excellent composer of song lyrics."
-- Isabel Huntsman, Seneschal Advisors, LLC

"Hobbies: Sleeping, etc., etc."
-- Carrie Rocha, www.pocketyourdollars.com

"An e-mail address: pinkpoodle@...com (How seriously can you take this person? How professional does this e-mail look if used on our behalf?)"
-- Kitty Werner, Chair, Central Vermont Crime Stoppers

"A résumé that included drawings of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, then when we called the applicant in for an interview, his twin brother came as well. They had duplicate résumés and showed the same portfolio of work."
-- David Langton - Principal, Langton Cherubino Group, Ltd.

"[The applicant] had blank spots on his cover letter and résumé that he filled in by hand. He had whited out info - like the 'To' and 'Objective' and hand wrote info for the current job."
-- Anonymous

"'I have never trapped a man.' A woman offered this as evidence of good character."
-- Robert Dagnall, ResumeGuru.com

"Personal accomplishments: Getting back together with my boyfriend upon his release from prison."
-- Dagnall

"And here's a new favorite that arrived in my mailbox this morning as part of someone's e-mail signature: 'I am the Master, and Technology my Slave.'"
-- Dagnall

"Number of grandchildren."
-- Ty Mays, Owner of Perfect Pitch Public Relations

"Homecoming king."
-- Mays

Overconfidence! !!

It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Flowers." "That's right!" the boy said, "But, how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets."

"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it champagne?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?"

With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"

Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or
boyfriend
along shopping
 
This letter was actually sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in
Oxford
:
 
 
Dear Mrs. Murray,
 
Whilst we would like to thank you for your valued custom and use of the
Tesco
Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning
you and your family from shopping with us, unless your? husband stops
his
antics.
 
Below is a list of his actions over the past few months all verified by
our
surveillance cameras:
 
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
trolleys when they weren't looking.
 
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute
intervals.
 
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine
products aisle.
 
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone,
'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.
 
5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
 
6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and
told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calorgas
stove.
 
7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he
began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
 
8.. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a
mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.
 
9. October 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the
Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.
 
10. November 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the
Mission Impossible' theme.
 
11.November 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look'
using different size funnels.
 
12. November 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled'
PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'
 
13. November 21: When an announcement came over the loudspeaker, assumed
the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'
 
And; last, but not least:
 
14. November 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a
while;
then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.'

About time they do this !
