Today, grabbing an employer's attention quickly and leaving a positive impression is critical. According to a recent CareerBuilder study, nearly half (45%) of human resource managers said they spend, on average, less than one minute reviewing an application. The survey, which was conducted by Harris Interactive from May 19 to June 8, 2011, included more than 2,600 employers nationwide. When asked to recall the most memorable or unusual resumes, human resource managers and hiring managers shared the following: Candidate said the more you paid him, the harder he worked. Candidate was fired from different jobs, but included each one as a reference. Candidate said he just wanted an opportunity to show off his new tie. Candidate listed her dog as reference. Candidate listed the ability to do the moonwalk as a special skill. Candidates --a husband and wife looking to job share --submitted a co-written poem. Candidate included "versatile toes" as a selling point. Candidate said that he would be a "good asset to the company," but failed to include the "et" in the word "asset." Candidate's email address on the resume had "shakinmybootie" in it. Candidate included that she survived a bite from a deadly aquatic animal. Candidate used first name only. Candidate asked, "Would you pass up an opportunity to hire someone like this? I think not." Candidate insisted that the company pay him to interview with them because his time was valuable. Candidate shipped a lemon with resume, stating "I am not a lemon." Candidate included that he was arrested for assaulting his previous boss.

Good or bad, I live and breath technology too.

For the Jessica Simpson fans:

The geek in me finds the use of "Leonard Nimoy" and the word "enterprises" in that sentence very funny!

I believe I'll have scotch instead of beer today and then go looking at lots of boobie pictures trying to see fripples. I believe I'll contact Microsoft and let them know that their spell check doesn't know about important words like "boobie" and "fripple". I believe that all boobies should pass in my hands and that I will gladly share them, especially with Malika.

That's great news to make a sunny Sunday even better! Thanks for sharing!

Where are the PETA people when you need them!? Another kitty caught in a boobie trap. Anyone want to try and rescue the poor thing?

If you purchased it recently with a credit card, it may be covered by the card's warranty. Worst case, your home insurance will cover it, but it may be less than the deductable. Warning: The following statement will make some Apple "fan boys" mad: I can't think of any PC laptop that won't let you easily change the battery. Rubbing alcohol can be used as a cleaning or flushing agent on electronics and evaporates quickly. As a last resort, you can immerse the battery in rubbing alcohol for a day to try and disolve any buildup and then flush it out. That's excatly why they do it!

It depends a lot on your wants and needs. You can get an Android Next6 tablet from Walmar for only $188 http://www.walmart.ca/Electronics/Computers-Accessories/Tablets/Next6-Tablet It doesn't connect directly to the cell network (ala 3G), but you connect via WiFi or tether it to your cell phone for internet access. It's pretty neat and covers off all of the basics and then some. They have a 15 day return policy, so if you don't like it just bring it back and try another.

And that's 14 months before early release for good behaviour, etc. It'll probably be just time served while waiting for trial. What a sad system we have :(

Remember Tracy Lords? "At the age of 15, she ran away from home and was living with her mother's ex-boyfriend, Roger. Posing as her stepfather, he helped her respond to classified ads requesting models. Using a false drivers license ID provided by Roger that stated she was 20 rather than 15, she started in the porn industry..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traci_Lords

You know your old when: You eat at 4, not because of the early bird specials, but because 8pm is your bedtime.

Shush!!! Those tastless toys are coming out next week and no one is supposed to know yet! :)

It's always a good time for some Leonard!!! On a completly unrelated topic, here's a quote from a show I watched the other day with my little niece: "I know you can sing. I'm just saying, do you really want to do it in front of all of those people? Staring right up at you? Waving their cellphones, taking your picture? Putting it on the internet for people to see over and over and over again, so people can watch it for years and years and years?" Remember... internet is forever, something Leonard never had to consider and, well, we get to watch him today. Now it's time for some Joe Biden:

I believe I'll have a beer and look at some boobies.

150... I'm thinking that somehow this should be part of the "How many times a week do you masturbate? " thread. :)

It's doable - that there is a touch tone phone and you're not that old. :) Now if you tried any of these, then you're old, and by the way, you'd have a time trying to do it: Newer: Older:

I would call a CERB lady, so should could let me leave the world with a smile. Oh ya, later she could let all my CERB friends know too.

Do you have any pictures? :)

Reminds me of this:

If you had one of these in your home for parties, you are old:

Good going!

I didn't know which thread this sould go in:

In June, 2007, a Wienermobile with the Wisconsin license plate of YUMMY made headlines after being stopped by an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer for having an allegedly stolen license plate. Officer K. Lankow had observed the Wienermobile slowing traffic and checked the license plate to determine if the vehicle was street legal. The license plate came back as being stolen out of Columbia, Missouri, so the officer stopped the Wienermobile and detained the driver. Oscar Meyer had not notified police that they had obtained a replacement plate after the previous one had been stolen, and that it should be considered stolen only if not on a Wienermobile. The Wienermobile was released soon after the error was revealed.
