'I laughed for a solid minute. It caught me off guard': 15+ Hiring managers who read hilarious resumes

The job market is intimidating, so reading about these hilariously bad resumes might raise your spirits. 

It's an odd time to be searching for a job, no matter your age or experience level. You send out job applications and they just… disappear into the void, never to be seen again. Imagine the feeling of throwing a paper plane into the Grand Canyon, never knowing where it lands, and you'll get the gist. 

These days, it actually makes you smile when you just get a receipt email from a company assuring you're being considered for a job. Thank goodness someone is seeing your application! It would appear that a lot — in fact, most — resumes are getting swiped away from the hiring manager's desk by hiring software. You never stand a chance of getting hired, and they're missing out on great candidates just because they're using software that isn't very effective. 

These hiring managers have a whole different set of problems, though. For example — what to do if a candidate hands you a handwritten resume on a piece of paper? Do you accept it and consider them, or are they automatically out for the count? Honestly, these days, that might be such a bad idea that it's almost a good idea, because at least it would result in everyone in the office having a surprised laugh, passing the resume around, and getting at least a few pairs of eyeballs on it. Much to consider! 

Other people noticed some rather indecorous grammatical errors that should never grace the page of ones resume. For example, one person claimed to be a "graphic desinger." They literally wrote "desinger," instead of "designer," throughout their entire resume. How much do you want to bet that they claim they always give attention to detail? 

It's hard to say how much little details like this matter to hiring managers, though it seems to very much depend on the job. The higher the salary, and the more prestige the position holds, the higher the standards are going to be. So read these stories below, have a good laugh, and then check your resume and cover letter like 3 times each before the next time you send it out into the void!
