Just Sad
Of all the sad, sad ways that readers have found this blog (searches for tampons, dates, turkeys…it really is frightening), the most depressing is the person who googled “back growns for a blank page”. I can only assume this person was looking for backgrounds.
I review all the resumes that come in to my company, and I try not to judge. Really. But if you’ve been an “analyst”, if that has actually been your title, don’t you think you should know how to spell it? In the very least, shouldn’t you know how to use spellcheck? Today I got a resume from an “annalist”. She didn’t get the interview.
Recently I received a resignation letter. I can only assume, as she no longer shows up, that it was a resignation letter. The letter did not mention resignation. It read, “This is my letter of recognition”. One wonders what she recognized.
Every time I say “thank you” to someone in an email and I receive “your welcome” as a reply I want to take back my “thank you”. Ick. As there is no way to spellcheck your way out of that one, I’ll be somewhat flexible. Still, ick.
I’m really hoping I don’t make these sort of mistakes. At least not with any regularity.
