0:00.0 | 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 |

1:32.5 | That sounds like it was literally three kids in a trench coat. |
