Anyone involved in hiring knows that there are some candidates who just don’t seem to get it.  There are the applicants who “fluff” their resumes to the point of fantasy.  There are the candidates who ask totally inappropriate questions, or give positively unimaginable answers, during an interview.  And there are the ones who submit resumes that are so outlandish that you have to bite your hand to refrain from sending a copy to every person in the office. 

But now, thanks to Robert Half International’s website, Resumania.com, you don’t have to share the candidate’s resume with the office.  Everyone can get a laugh that’s not on the expense of the potential co-worker.

On the site, the global recruiting agency shares some of the best worst lines from resumes, accompanied by a little cartoon businessman who provides witty commentary.  Here are just a few from the site:

Applicant’s Statement:  Committed to meeting deadline

Commentary:  Just one?
