Today, my 16 yr old cousin needed help making a job resume so I give him mine to see as an example. He changed my name to his and it got him a job right away. The sad part? I handed my resume out to about 30 places and I am still unemployed. FML

If this isn't fake... Try putting your first initial on the resume, instead of your first name. That way, they won't see your gender in your name, and you might get your foot in the door. I've seen it work for other people... (I'm a guy, though, so that trick won't help me. Sucks.)

That sucks. Hopefully karma will come back to haunt him when his employers expect him to have experience in all the things on YOUR resume.

when his boss finds outs he's been lying, he's in for a real big deep shit!

i'm 18, & just started college. I'm not applying at some fancy ass job or whatever & i only worked at a couple of clothing stores in the past, so my cousin can easily use my resume.

Call his boss and send him your resume and while you're at it, your other bosses' phone numbers so he can check you're telling the truth.

5 page long resume? No wonder you aren't getting hired. You know they spend downwards of 30 seconds reading your resume before they decide to place it in the cylindrical file or set up an interview?

But how could the boss have believed the resume? Surely it would say some things the cousin couldn't possibly have done? FYL either way

wow that sucks. im surprised they believed him! Actually this incident was a psychological study sometime ago. Can't remember who did it but a resume with a female name was sent to some places. Later on the same exact resume but with a male name was sent to some places and it turns out that mostly males were hired. really interesting. But really sucky for you =/
