A British accent can often sound sophisticated and charming to the average American. Candidate #56 was going along swimmingly until they hit the last sentence, then it was right Into The Rubbish Bin.
Don't these people want a job? In today's economic environment, why would somebody submit a resume that is absolutely terrible and guarantees submission "Into The Circular File"? They aren't getting an interview, but we are getting a good laugh!

Candidate #55
Who doesn't love a reader submission? Candidate #55 was
applying for a proofreading position. I am sure the irony will not be
lost on you. Despite the fact our reader tossed this one Into The Circular File, the casual wording
of this resume will have it rising quickly to the top of the heap.

Candidate #54
There were a few reasons to toss this one Into The Circular File, but despite the perky start to the resume, I don't think I want to cross Candidate #54.

Candidate #53
Why do I think that a five-minute interview with you would take three hours? I am just going to save us both the time and send this right Into The Circular File.

Candidate #52
You are witnessing part of a resume that is in 24pt Helvetica and clocks in at 6 pages. A perfect example of bigger isn't always better. Not even sure if this font will fit Into The Circular File.

Candidate #50
Something tells me "get a job" was on his honey-do list. Hopefully he mowed the lawn and fixed the darn table in time for his entrance Into The Circular File.

Candidate #49
Do you think Candidate #49 even knows what job they are applying for? All candidates asking this many questions should form a line that leads right Into The Circular File.

Candidate #48
It's Valentine's Day and I am all about sharing the love, but not so much about sharing the resume. I will forward this Into The Circular File.

Candidate #47
Ladies, have you ever been in a bar and a guy came along and gave you a generic pick-up line like, "If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?" Would you think he was your future husband? That's kinda how we feel about Candidate #47 and our future together. Some candidates run though our mind all day, Candidate #47 is just running Into The Circular File.

Candidate #46
Candidate #46's obsession with polysyllabic words is overwhelming,
unnecessary, superfluous, gratuitous, redundant and utterly
distracting. Into The Circular File it goes, went, exited, left,
departed and fled.

Candidate #45
The house may always win, but this applicant definitely loses. Cash in your chips and head directly Into The Circular File.

Candidate #43
There is something to be said for timing. Candidate #43 needs to learn more about timing...and how to use Microsoft Word to write a resume. This resume will look "excel"lent as it is sent Into The Circular File.
