Job site CareerBuilder.com recently asked pollsters Harris Interactive to survey hiring managers and find out the wackiest resume items they've seen lately. Out of 2,627 responses, here are the top ten resume blunders made by job candidates:

  1. Attached a letter from her mother.
  2. Used pale blue paper with teddy bears printed around the border.
  3. Explained a three-month gap in employment by saying that he was getting over the death of his cat.
  4. Specified that his availability to work Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays is limited because the weekends are "drinking time."
  5. Included a picture of herself in a cheerleading uniform.
  6. Drew a picture of a car on the outside of the envelope and said the car would be a gift to the hiring manager.
  7. Listed hobbies that included sitting on a levee at night watching alligators.
  8. Mentioned the fact that her sister had once won a strawberry-eating contest.
  9. Stated that he works well in the nude.
  10. Explained an arrest record by stating, "We stole a pig, but it was a really small pig."

Sounds like most of them are well qualified for political office.

I really like #4. "Uh, I can't really work weekends 'cause it cuts into my drinking time."
I think you're right Sarge. I bet half of these people run for some type of political office at some point.
