Amusing Candidate Summary

26 March 2011 at 2:34PM Leave a comment

From the CTRN mailing list comes this personal description from a candidate resume:

Tall handsome German-American Baccalaureate looking for a good time with a computer company. Just getting out of a 1099 v dash relationship with Microsoft and looking for a serious relationship that will nurture my growing skills, but short term relationships are good too! The size of your pay is not terribly important, but I might be disappointed if it were less than 40k USD per year. I like long walks on the beach, mountain climbing, networking, and computer security. I am always looking for something new and exciting out of relationship; if you think you can teach me some new tricks let me know! If you think you or your company might be a good fit, or you know a company who might – shoot me an email, or drop me a line at the address and phone number above. I would be more than happy to talk over our compatibility.

Thanks and a hat tip to Patricia!

My Core Ideas

1. "I can't tell you the best way to get a job - because there is no one best way. After 19 year of recruiting, I CAN share things I've seen candidates do to guarantee they DIDN'T get the job."

2. "Most companies don't realize how their recruiting process impacts their candidate pool, and their business. Attention to simple things will result in big improvements."
