I just went through hiring an assistant. I was ASTOUNDED at the resumes and lack of proofreading/grammar/spelling skills. I didn't think it could get any worse until.........the interviews started!

Who in their right mind thinks it is OK to come to an interview for an office position - in which you'll have to greet the public - dressed in sweats covered with cat hair!?!? Her resume read beautifully, but dear god! The cover didn't match the book!!!

Keep these stories coming! Seriously, I thought it was common knowledge to know how to format your resume, run it through a spell check/grammar check and then wear a suit or appropriate attire for the job that you are interviewing for. When i update my resume, it takes me at least a couple of hours, reformatting, rewording, etc.

One of my clients said that she had an applicant come in wearing a baby doll night gown. She apparently made absolutely no apology about it either.

I asked if she took a picture....she unfortunately did not.
