Baffled employers share the worst CVs they've received
Job-seekers are often left in the dark when they fail to land a role - but there is little confusion over why these candidates were unsuccessful.
From boasting about their criminal history to scrawling in pen across the page, they struggled to understand even the most basic rules of putting together a CV.
Baffled employers shared photos of the bizarre resumes in an online gallery and they serve as a warning to others about what not to do.
One confident applicant included a picture of a cartoon character on the front of his resume, while another added a funny photo of a bizarre looking man.
