How to Interpret a Resume
I used to claim that I didn't write fiction. Then I started helping
people with their resumes. So this is for anyone in HR who has to read
the darned things.
Term: What it really means:
Bright Wears lots of yellow and red (usually together)
Intelligent Got a gold star for spelling in first grade
Computer-literate Knows the difference between a mouse and a terminal
Great communicator Fired from his last job for telling the boss exactly
what he thought of him
Detail-oriented Will spend eight hours perfecting a 2-minute job
Sees the big picture Hasn't got a clue about how to do the work required
to get to the big picture
Prompt First one out the door at quitting time
Hard working For at least at ten minutes a day
Conscientious Knows EXACTLY how much sick time and holiday time
he has left
Friendly Watch out for attractive members of your staff
