Repost off my FB wall for those of you not on the bookfaces: I am so frustrated I could scream. Maybe the girls are candidates for a job on the X, but otherwise...
Right now I am interviewing candidates for a position in my department. For you job seekers out there, a few helpful tips. (And these are my actual experiences...)
First, gmail is a free service, so take five minutes and set up a professional-looking email address to include on your resume. Whassup, "XX-la-pimpsta@gmail".
Second, when cutting and pasting from online job descriptions to flesh out your resume, remember that three different font styles and sizes on one page can often be a dead giveaway to a prospective employer that your resume is A FAKE.
Third, never offer up in an interview that your mom has gotten you every job you have ever had. Especially if you are 26.
And finally, for the love of Bacchus... I am all about having a good time on your own time, but damn, people - MAKE THE PICTURES ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE PRIVATE. 'Cause, yeah, I Googled you.
Hey there, Little Miss Looks Great On Paper, who was a serious candidate until I saw your profile pic where you are braless in a wife beater and shotgunning a beer, and the latest pic you were tagged in is of you doing tequila shots off a guy's crotch. I'm sure the Ops guys are just trying to make you feel like part of the team with all the Happy Hour invites.
That also goes for you, Little Miss I Think I'll Post My Lingerie Pictures on the Internet. Yep, I found those too. So will the Ops guys, and oh, yeah, they are TOTALLY going to take you seriously.
And you too, Mr. Spring Break 2012 Party Boy. That ever present bottle of Jack in your hand and a different girl in a skimpy bikini in every picture tells me you are definitely the guy to negotiate a complex multi-year, multi-million dollar contract for us. Rock on, man. And I think I'll take a #1 with no cheese, no onions.
