Your shitty resume

Listen up fucknut. Don't explain two years of your life on your resume by writing "Relocation and travel." Relocation and travel? I'm sitting here in some flourescent office 9 hours a day thinking about the time in your life when you had enough money to travel and relocate for two years? Fuck you. Fuck you and your travel.

Recruiters are in a business frame of mind when they're reading your resume. They're also comparing their life to yours. I've relocated before. It took awhile, yes, but I worked the whole time when I did it. I did the actual move over a weekend. I didn't miss any work. It certainly didn't take me two years and I didn't travel around and buy flowers and shit.

So my sympathy doesn't suddenly spring in to place when I read about your two vague years of travel and relocating. Come up with something better than that. I'd be more likely to call you if your resume said "I sat on my ass for two years because my girlfriend broke up with me and I was depressed." At least I could respect honesty. Your evasive, laconic ass on the other hand? Delete.
