Below are our seven favorite resume bloopers found on JobMob:

  1. “Hobbies: enjoy cooking Chinese and Italians.” (We hear Italians have a lot of protein.)
  2. “Achievements: Nominated for prom queen.” (Shucks, we’re only hiring reigning prom queens.)
  3. “Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain store.” (We’d love for you to jump in and start messing things up for us right away.)
  4. “Qualifications: Twin sister has accounting degree.” (Do you communicate with her telepathically?)
  5. “Skills: I can type without looking at thekeyboard.” (Socanwe.)
  6. “Experienced in all faucets of accounting.” (Great, could you check the leaky sink in the third floor bathroom?)
  7. “Education: I have a bachelorette’s degree in accounting.” (Does your degree expire upon marriage?)
