RE: RESUME

OK. Stephanie’s too nice but I’m posting the crazy resume in the jump, name redacted. Why? Because it’s not the first awful resume I’ve seen– way too many cross our desks here at PCP. Is it just me or are graduates not given a lesson in resume and interviewing skills? Because kids, “Gotten compliments on my good manners at restaurants” is not considered an attribute that will help you in the world of work. I’m just sayin’.
