Resume Bloopers and Blunders

Looking for a job and finding yourself without a smile on your face? Yes, times are tough and chances of landing job interviews are few and farther between. With more and more laid-off and underemployed workers out there searching for the next good gig, the pot of resume bloopers and blunders has been renewed. You are sure to laugh at these unfortunate choices in wording on the resume caused by spell check snafus or just plain stupidity - just make sure you don't do the same!
