Seriously, these people are horrible.

I got 250 responses in a week and a half.

Some notables:

One person applied with the objective of "To be an arborist" while another said "Sous Chef"

I got a resume from someone who had attached it as a .bmp, they took a printed resume that was folded and wrinkled, SCANNED IT and emailed it to me. The resume was for any job in a restaurant. Last employment was at Chilis. They spelled it wrong - written as CHILL with the letters IS added to the end of it. (No wonder they havent had a job since 07)

One person wrote under awards and Accomplishments: Most improved freshman band member.

8 people didnt know the difference between "AD" and "ADD"

3 truck drivers applied, cutting and pasting their application from other applications from trucking jobs.

About two dozen high school class of 2009 gradutates - none of which know the difference between your and you're and did not attach a resume as I asked.

Half a dozen resumes in .wps format, which is unsupported by my version of word.

It goes on.....oy

Two MBA's actually applied
haha, nicely done.

There must be some way these clowns are spamming, like email spam except their resumes because I think this happens all the time. People applying for totally unrelated insane sh*t.

Well, did you honestly think anyone has their career objective as "Be a pawn shop employee"? I really don't think you're going to be finding a lot of people who are Certified Pawn Shop Professionals floating around out there.

I would really be curious to see what you ad looked like.

If your ad sounded anything like the title of this thread no wonder people misunderstood what you were looking for.
