What was the biggest disaster of a CV you've ever seen? Unfortunately, the worst I've ever seen

0:07.6

was submitted by my friend who I vouched for before he submitted his resume. Now, we were all in the

0:13.3

same college classes and mostly all of the same project groups, so his resume should and could

0:19.0

have contained all the same stuff my first resume did, plus what he did in the two years out of college.

I didn't have a whole lot of impressive stuff being just out of college when I applied, but it was well-formatted and thought out.

0:30.6

My friend submitted a pile of jumbled cramp.

1:11.4

shocking and embarrassing for me. I received a resume by email from John. The email address

1:18.5

had the name as George listed. The resume was for Max, so three different names for one

1:24.8

application. As if that wasn't bad enough, it was more of a story of his life in paragraph format than

1:30.8

citing his skills.

1:32.5

That sounds like it was literally three kids in a trench coat.

1:35.2

Was worked as the boss of the business factory in the job history?
