Slightly off topic, but will bring a smile on a Friday… NotHired.com (thanks to Meranda for the tip).
The blog is a collection of the very best of the worst job applications, cover letters and CVs - each one a golden example of what not to do the next time you apply for a job.
Some are forgiveable mistakes, but others are just plain wrong - check out this interesting description of work duties.
Ever wondered why you didn’t get a call back? This site should make you feel a whole lot better.
