Description:

A HILARIOUS COMPILATION OF THE WORST JOB APPLICATIONS IMAGINABLE - A PERFECT STOCKING FILLER OR OFFICE SECRET SANTA GIFT THIS CHRISTMAS.

Ever read a truly terrible job application? Or perhaps slightly exaggerated the truth on one of your own...

We've all been there - but these are worse.
So much worse.

From overly-honest cover letters, embarrassing typos, and mortifying personal revelations, to awkward interview questions, misplaced self-confidence, and, of course, outright lies.

This hilarious collection of shockingly dreadful job applications, crap CVs and excruciating interviews will have you laughing out loud, while also making you feel so much better about yourself - because at least you weren't ever this bad . . .



Application for Employment

I refer to the recent death of the Technical Manager at your company and hereby apply for the replacement of the deceased manager.


Each time I apply for a job, I get a reply that there is no vacancy but in this case I have caught you red-handed and you have no excuse because I even attended the funeral to be sure that he was truly dead and buried before applying.


Attached to my letter is a copy of my CV and his death certificate.


The Interview:

Q. Is there anything about this job that you feel you might not be very good at?
A. Dealing with people.

Q. What person, living or dead, would you most like to meet?
A. The living one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cried laughing

O. · 13 July 2023

Bought this book for my daughter as a little addition to my Christmas gift, ended up reading it after the meal out loud, it’s so funny, we cried laughing in the end, had a great time reading it, worth every penny. Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read. For some reason I was expecting this ...

P.G. · 12 January 2015

Good read. For some reason I was expecting this to be larger than it is. Perhaps it's the picture of the CV on the front which is usually A4 size. This book is about half that. Either way, some very humorous content. Would make a fun gift for people with this kind of sense of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a lot of fun!

V.R. · 9 January 2020

My partner loved to read it!Very wise book, that definitely teaches you in a fun way, of things that you for sure don’t want to do!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny book

J.Y. · 4 January 2020

Delivery was perfect.Good and very funny book showing the worst and funniest CV's people have submitted.Would recommend for an easy read

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but poor paper

W. · 17 December 2019

This book is pretty good, some funny comments in it, but it's printed on that cheap looking yellow paper which makes it look dodgy. Fortunately I ordered this as a funny raffle prize so it was fine, but I'd have been embarrassed if it had been more of a personal present. The contents are funny though.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent present for my husband

j. · 9 January 2015

I bought this as a present for my husband, who did not seem that pleased with it. However, it was on the sofa, he had taken all his other books upstairs, so he started reading.My husband does not normally laugh out loud when reading a book. I have also never known him want to read bits of a book to me. I just went to read the book, only to find that he has taken it to work, for use at lunchtime.Quite frankly, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would, my husband does not normally find books funny, and any book that appeals must therefore be special. A book that is an excellent present for a man who is involved in recruitment, or interviewing, as they are likely to have stories to add as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted tome ideal for WC reading

N.W. · 28 December 2019

Pick up and put down occasional read but this book was written by an American for the American market and the book name has simply been re-branded from perhaps Crap Resumes to Crap CVs to appeal to British readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars So so funny

C.M. · 8 January 2020

So very very funny. You cannot believe what people put on their CVs. Well worth buyi g if you fancy a laugh

Awesome

S.R.C. · 30 January 2019

Feeling down? Read this, you will laugh out loud! I’d love to use some of these techniques in my own resume (clearly for a job i didn’t want!).

Collection of way out there, stupid and weird things found in CV's and job applications

B.B. · 20 October 2015

I am still reading this one but it is a collection of way out there, stupid and weird things found in CV's and job applications. It is silly but good fun. It should not be taken seriously...

Good fun for anyone who has ever written a CV

K. · 24 March 2020

I got this book when I had to send out job applications and had a good laugh. It brightened my day and made the process of appying a bit less annoying.
