There’s a cute joke that’s been circulating around email inboxes recently, aptly titled Resimay. It makes me smile, both because it’s funny, and because as a small business owner I’ve had the pleasure of reading countless unsolicited and downright ridiculous CVs.
I run a copywriting company, so you’d think someone applying herein would take the time to spell check, but I’ve received some applications which make the spelling below seem downright sophisticated. Though sadly, none of my applicants have ever sent a headshot like this one….
