You would think that people would want to put their very best foot forward when submitting a resume. You would think they would at least check for typo's. Yet, according to the firm Accountemps, here are some real-life excerpts from real people's resumes:

"I'm a quick leaner." Probably his last job was with the highway department.

"I seek challenges that test my mind and body because the two are usually inseparable." That was probably on Shirley MacLaine's resume.

"Here are my qualifications for you to overlook." O.K.

"Hope to hear from you shorty." Takes one to know one. (1)
