Funny and Weird Resume


A resume is very important for your job application. Your resume will give your interviewers the very first impression they have about you. You must think carefully when you are crafting your resume. Ask yourself, “what kind of information that I want my interviewers to know about me?”.

Of course, if you cannot craft your own resume, leave it to the experts.

There are some very funny and weird resume examples for you to read (and make sure you are not repeating these mistakes).

“I think the goofiest thing I saw on a résumé was a person who listed one of their special skills as Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. They were applying for an accounting position, so it makes absolutely no sense why they would have that on there.”
Sky Opila, online résumé service BriteTab.com

Tip # 1: Never include any additional information that has nothing to do with the position you are applying.

“1990 – 1997: Stewardess – Royal Air Force”

Tip # 2: I am sure you understand this line, but not everyone knows what you are writing about. You should write:

1990 – Stewardess

1997 – Royal Air Force

“Candidate included naked picture of himself”

Tip # 3: Whether you are female or male, there is no bonus point for showing your own naked body to strangers.

“I once received a resume with a head and shoulders picture in the top left of the first page. The picture was of a lion’s head, wearing a coat, shirt, and tie.”

Tip # 4: Fancy resume can differentiate yourself from other applicants, but bear in mind that it can be the ultimate way to send your resume to the garbage.

“nine-page cover letter accompanied by a four-page resume”

Tip # 5: Less is more. People don’t have the patience to read through many resumes, let alone a long resume. Keep it short but compact with everything the interviewers need to know about you.

“An e-mail address: pinkpoodle@…com (How seriously can you take this person? How professional does this e-mail look if used on our behalf?)”
Kitty Werner, Chair, Central Vermont Crime Stoppers

Tip # 6: As always, a professional email is very important.

Write a Good Resume


When searching for a new job, your resume is the most powerful tool you have to attract employer interest. Your resume is your introduction to your prospective employer and gives you an opportunity to either make a great first impression or fall flat on your face. Writing a perfectly good resume is therefore inevitable.

The importance of having a solid resume cannot be overstated. In most cases, this 1-2 page document is the first and only look your employer will get of you before he or she picks who is going to be interviewed, so it is extremely important to make the sale with your resume.

The first step in writing an effective resume is writing your cover letter. Your cover letter is basically your way of introducing yourself to your prospective employer and explaining what you have to offer to the organization. Your cover letter should be tailored specifically to each employer you’re applying to and mention exactly how your skills and experience can meet their needs.

When writing your resume, you should be as complete and concise as possible. Your resume should be no longer than two pages, but should contain as much relevant information as possible about your skills and experience.

Your resume should include your name, address, contact information, education, work experience and references. Presentation of this information is important and there are a variety of Web sites with good models to pattern the design of your resume after. Check out Monster.com for some excellent examples of good resumes.

When listing your work experience on your resume, you’ll probably have to list why you left some jobs. Avoid griping about work conditions or money when talking about your reasons for leaving, as it may give your prospective employer the impression that you have a bad attitude or poor work ethic. Instead say that you decided to pursue growth opportunities or wanted a new challenge.

Also remember to contact the folks you list as references on your resume. It’s common courtesy, and it ensures that the references you’re listing actually will put in a good word for you.

When writing and completing your resume, be sure to run it through a spelling and grammar checking program. Also have a friend read it to make sure that the program didn’t miss or misinterpret anything. Having spelling and grammar errors on your resume basically equates to walking into your job interview with your pants down, so please take the time to proofread. You know you have done a pretty good job in writing a resume when interviews come knocking after sending a few resumes out.

Apa Kata Bintang




Ku tak tahu apa yang terjadi,
pada hatiku kini,
tak ku mengerti

Getar ini belum pernah ada,
tak pernah ku rasakan,
selama ini

[Pre Chorus:]
Malu-malu aku, mengakuinya
Kar’na aku (2: -kini,) belum dewasa

[Chorus:]
Berjuta cahaya datang padaku
menari denganku,
nyanyikan lagu tentangnya
Duhai bintang mungkinkah yang ku rasa,
apakah sudah saatnya,
untuk ku menyukainya

Sekarang ku sering melamun,
dan juga ku senang bercermin,
oh, mengapa ini?

[Pre Chorus] ~~ [Chorus]

[Pre Chorus] ~~
[Chorus] ^ (x2)
~ untuk ku menyukai dirinya (x4)
Apakah sudah saatnya (x2)
