Gotta love stupidity….
So as you may or may not recall, I’m big on education. I’ve earned 3 college degrees, my husband is finishing his, I’ve taught at the college level. BIG on education. And do you know why? Because America is stupid. Americans are lazy when it comes to education and go ahead and disagree with me…but wait until you read these two resumes until you comment. I get that people are “disadvantaged” and “struggle.” But you know what? I have friends who struggle financially, who “came from nothing” and all that other shit and they still manage to (1) get educated and at least (2) run their resumes by someone with a few more brain cells to see how it reads. Clearly, these two candidates did not.
And don’t jump on your high-horse – these are publicly available resumes….I have an inside source who is providing these and all names have been removed. Although “Shit for Brains” and “Dumbass” could apply….

My goal is to find a career that I will love.

Minerva,OH. 44657
From: 04/05/2005 – To: 05/12/2010
Duties:
It was my job to recruit new and prior volunteers to raise awareness in their community to send out educational letters for different charitable organizations. Just to name a few: March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, Leukemia and Lymphoma, Disabled Veterans Of America, etc. The letters explain the need to raise awareness and how important it is to get the word out there on these very serious diseases and disabilities. These letters also ask if they could make a small charitable donation. If they are not willing to help in distributing these letters, we ask them if they are willing to make a charitable donation of their own. This was a very rewarding job. It opened my eyes to what is in need out there and how important it is help those in need. It was also very educational and I learned a lot.

I fed them breakfast and lunch and also provided snacks. I did a lot of activities with them and taught them educational things. The 4year old attended school 3 days a week, so I took him to the bus stop and also picked him up from the bus stop. I helped him with his homework as well. I absoutely loved this job. Children are a blessing to begin with, and to have the opportunity to watch another persons child, it was very rewarding.
