why you should not put much faith in a resume' --joke maybe--

skills contained in a resume form may be enhanced a little, hehehehehehe, in an attempt to put a favorable shine on the applicant. see if you agree.

Reminds me of the after action report on a bomb run.

"Due to unfavorable meteorological conditions, the aircraft commander elected to expend the ordnance on a secondary target."

Based on pilot's report: "Couldn't find the damn bridge because of the fog, so I dumped my bombs in the ocean>"

Not very long ago I was interviewing someone and the resume had all kinds of ambiguous statement like what is in the original post. So I started asking her to explain them and she laughed and thought I was joking. She finally admitted to just getting resume statements off the internet.

She did not get the job and before I found out the lie she was the top runner and would have got hired.

There is great power in words and when used in just such a way they can make a loser look good and a winner look bad.

Had a teacher way back in elementary school that showed the class a news article from a USSR newspaper. This was of coarse during the "Cold War' back in the day. In a running race between an American athlete and a Soviet athlete the headline read, " Soviet Runner Comes In 2nd in the great race. American Runner comes in 2nd to Last" 😲

YUP! Propaganda is what it is and we are sure getting bombarded with it from our own supposed countrymen!

I just hired a new employee. His resume was impressive and he was even better in person. His resume was an understatement of his capabilities so it can go both ways. I wouldn't say he's "smarter" than myself but he certainly knows more about the work I hired him to do than any of my other more experienced employees.
