Life Musings

It's amazing how some people don't pay any attention to basic spelling and grammar in their resumes. If you've been searching for a job, common sense dictates that you should pay attention to proper phrasing in your resume. I understand that not everybody is an English major; however, one can always have a spouse or a trusted friend review the resume for presentability.

I recently received a resume that had the following gems in it:

"Skills Sets"
"Respond to all manor of emergency situations..."
Phrases with inappropriately capitalized words, e.g., "My Career has been...," "... a private liberal arts College."

Interestingly enough, this same gent ended his resume by saying, "I am confident that my experience, my natural leadership abilities, my close attention to detail and my interpersonal skills will allow me to be a valuable addition to any staff." Close attention to detail? I don't think so.
