Skills and talent are not as valuable as you think. Sure, if you have no skills whatsoever the chances of getting a job are close to zero. But if skills are the only thing you have, you’ll still struggle. Why? Because it’s all about marketing these days.
Did you know that Google receives 3 million resumes a year?
Let’s say half of them have what it takes to work at Google, you’re still competing with 1.5 million people. Which means that your resume has to stand out from the crowd.
The resume above is not exactly the perfect example of how to be original. But hey, it is something. It shows that someone was brave enough to be totally honest with you. On top of that, it is funny. And funny means creative, which is a valuable skill!
But what you’re about to see is not recommended if you’re into writing a resume that stands out. This guy wrote his resume using Google autocomplete…and it’s hilarious!
“I needed to update my CV so I did it all through Google autocomplete and soon I will have every job,” tweeted Aaron Gillies.
Let’s face it, nobody likes writing resumes simply because they’re boring. Maybe that is the reason why this London-based author decided to have fun with Google autocomplete?
So, according to Google autocomplete he is trained in gorilla warfare and he can prove it mathematically!
Employers might not be impressed, but the Google autocomplete resume went viral!
