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.



Packed with hundreds of hilarious examples of CVs that went straight in the recycling, Crap CVs will show you not only what not to tell prospective employers but also dozens of ways of ensuring you will remain one of the longterm unemployed.

Fast and efficient way to choose and receive books

This is my second experience using Booksplease. Both orders dealt with very quickly and despatched. Now waiting for my next read to drop through the letterbox.

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
