Today, I applied for a job and sent my CV, then realised I sent the example CV I got off the internet. Now they think Bob Brown who lives at 123 Sunshine Street is applying for a job. FML

Hahah that is funny. Just wait for however long they keep the application on file and send in another one.. they won't know it's the same person since you're not really Bob Brown.

Well the positions filled now. Complaining on fml won't help. I say find this bob character and eliminate him. It may be a hopeless mission, but so is getting a job apparently.

I would hire you just to make fun of your name and where u live...

new zealand is pretty this time of year, enjoy it worry about work later the world ends in a couple of years anyways

The employers, with THEIR great attention to detail, will catch that the REAL cv you turn in will be in the exact same format as Bob Brown's, and STILL think you're incompetent. caps ftw

she doesn't have to wait thy won't kno Bobby is her

I don't know how CVs work, but with resumés*, you generally include a personalized cover letter as the email text and attach the resumé file. So the employer may indeed know her real name, and her error. *Autocorrect is telling me to use résumé, but that looks weird to me. pendatik, Freeze, other comrades, help me out here!

Wouldn't the first one be correct in that it means resume, as in to continue? That leads me to believe the last one's correct, then. But I've always spelled it resumé.

Hmm. Well, you learn something new every day!

YDI for applying for a job. YDI for using the interweb. YDI for plagiarizing. YDI for living on Sunshine Street.

I lol'd at the last one. But I live on Sunshine Street, too. In fact, I live at 124 Sunshine Street. Bob's my neighbor!! :D

She deserves to be forced into a country where you get a job, a job gets you. Soviet Russia anyone?

Huh, what a coincidence. I live at 123 Sunshine Street.

I don't think it is plagiarizing she just used a format that comes with Microsoft word or whatever she used

Looks like its back to job hunting =)

Just tell them you gave them the wrong paperwork

But that is admitting incompetency!

...ok so now send the actual one that has your stuff on it and hope you don't get beat out by a fictitious person. :)

Well if thats your level of attention to detail then you will never get a job. YDI for being such a dumbass!

Bob Brown? It's his prerogative.
