The funniest application form I’ve ever had
I work in retail and we’re currently recruiting some new staff and I’m the person that reviews applications to decide whether to ask them for an interview.
One caught my attention today for all the wrong reasons.
They mention that they’re currently unemployed (and also unployyed) but under previous experience they put down dates from June to October in a sales assistant role, even including a person to contact for a reference.
I get trying to make yourself look better on paper to secure a interview/job but lies should be believable.
I literally can’t believe they put down as previous experience a misspelled name of the very company they’re applying to and a contact I don’t recognise (and I do payroll so I should recognise every name).
I’m tempted to have them interviewed just to ask them about their previous experience. 640
