Worst Gaffes in your Resume
|
|
1. Careless Mistake
1."Speak, read, and wright English/Spanish."--seen by Angie Beauchamp, Charm Factory manager.
2.A candidate actually misspelled her own first name, writing "Barbara" as "Barabara."--Mark Gollihur, who managed a video store when he received that application.
3.A resume objective stated the candidate wanted a job as a nurse. The job she was applying for? Security manager.--Philip Farina, author of "Antiterrorism Careers."
4."They write, 'I've researched your company and would be a perfect fit.' And then they call your company by a competitor's name."--Tony Katsulos, who has weeded out this cut-and-paste gaffe many times.
5.This one says it all: "I'm very detale oriented."--reported by Sharon Armstrong, the author of "The Essential HR Handbook."
6.Instead of "biological organisms," a university job candidate wrote "biological orgasms."--from Berit Brogaard, associate professor of philosophy and psychology at the University of Missouri, Saint Louis.
7."Psychology professor" became "psycho. professor," and "analytic philosophy" became "anal. philosophy."--"Asso. professor" Brogaard has seen these and other abbreviations lead to resume trouble.
Lesson: Be vigilant about spelling, proofread each resume a few times, get someone else to look at your resume for errors, and be wary of abbreviations. (Read more articles with tips on crafting the perfect resume.)

"It is never too late to get a College degree!"

California woman earns diploma at age 94
|
| It's never too late to earn your college degree. Just ask 94-year-old Hazel Soares.
The San Leandro woman was one of about 500 students to pick up diplomas Saturday during a commencement ceremony at Mills College, an Oakland liberal arts college for women that also offers coed graduate programs.
"It's taken me quite a long time because I've had a busy life," said Soares. "I'm finally achieving it, and it makes me feel really good."
Soares, who has six children and 40 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, is believed to be the world's second oldest person to graduate from college.
Nola Ochs (OAKS) of Kansas became the oldest when she graduated from Fort Hays State University three years ago at age 95, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Ochs, now 98, topped that academic feat Saturday, when she received her master's degree in liberal studies from Fort Hays.
The nonagenarians are earning their degrees as the Obama administration pushes to once again make the United States the world leader in college attainment by 2020.
Born in Richmond, Calif. in 1915, Soares said she had wanted to attend college right after she graduated from Roosevelt High School in Oakland in 1932, but that was during the Great Depression.
