    20+ Hiring managers who refused to interview job candidates: 'I have received a resume that is a screenshot from an iPhone'

    Just in case no one's ever told you, please don't write your resume with the Comic Sans font. That font has become known for being widely disliked, not to mention that it evokes childishness. Perhaps for people who aren't chronically online, choosing this polarizing font makes their resume appear cute (to them, anyway). The HR professional who's looking at that resume is probably going to click away from it immediately or toss it in the garbage can… and that's not the only reason that an HR worker might skip a candidate over for a job. 

    One hiring manager noted that they skip over anyone who appears in person wearing pajama pants to either request an application or interview. I suppose not everyone appreciates the Cookie Monster pajamas look! That's fairly obvious — looks really matter while interviewing — but there are also hiring managers who dislike candidates to check up on their applications too much. That makes sense, too. If you're bugging the HR person 3 times a day about how your application is proceeding along, they're not going to appreciate your enthusiasm — they're going to view that as annoying, and they'll skip over you and talk to the next candidate instead. 

    Next, read about some construction projects gone wrong, like one person who discovered that "They paved over a cone on Washington Ave."
