ahhh, a little bundle (read: attachment) of joy was left in my email today

Seems like someone's been listening to my advice about CVs!

Kudos for adding a few crativity points:

- Colors! Yes, pink, red, green and blue are the new Arial & Bookman Old Style of professionalism
- Kiss ass comments - Yikes! Coz we all love to get our asses kissed by potential applicants - ahh my self-actualization needs have been fulfilled - eat that Maslow!
- Not leaving out important details: Just coz you took an ICDL and Introduction to Computers course doesn't mean you know how to use windows and internet! It is, therefore, necessary - even mandatory - to list down the sophisticated applications you can use, like word, excel, windows and internet!
Finally, I'd like to give double Kudos for the currage this dude has in showing how he's moved jobs every year! Seriously, nothing makes an HR manager happier than hiring someone who will leave after one year - talk about Return on Investment!!

I will print screen and post below because what's a good laugh if it's not shared among loved ones (read: the few people who actually read this)

Enjoy :)

He actually used violet in the footer? that's hilarious.

I once received a CV for an intern software engineer telling me: "Ready to learn more about computers". And another one listing me the 36 subjects they took with grades.

But your guy is exceptional, with his 'Power Point' skills.

Your advice post made me laugh my eyes out :D
