How to Create a Bad Impression
with No Effort at All – Two! |
|
 
Previously on MedHunters, we addressed How
to Create a Bad Impression with No Effort at All
in interviews.
In numerous places on MedHunters, we've advised people
to be careful about spelling, grammar, punctuation,
and presentation in résumés and cover
letters. (Examples include: Write
the Right Résumé, Write
an Effective Cover Letter, Dear
Cindy – A Healthcare Recruiter Driven Crazy
By Jargon, Dear
Cindy – Excellent Cover Letter, Wrong Employer,
Dear Cindy
– Types of Résumés.) Now,
added to this, we've developed a collection of items
from actual cover letters and résumés
to create How to Create a Bad Impression with No
Effort at All – Two!
First, yes, these are all real. They've been
collected over a few years. Second, with one or two
exceptions, these items are from native English speakers.
Third, in order to give you the real effect, we haven't
corrected capitalization, spelling, punctuation, or
grammar. Finally, we have cut out portions of sentences,
but never to create false errors, just to shorten material.

What the Employer Might
Think |
| American Board of Internal
Medicine (legible 2001) |
Does this mean he got
his boards before 2001, but the certificate
was illegible? |
|
| I have short-sightedness
(mild). |
Don't put this person
in charge of planning. |
|
| Orthopeadic tecnicain |
You'd think a person could
spell the title of his own job, but … |
|
| My background in healthcare
is unique and powerful. |
Wow! |
|
| A Multi-facade cardiac/neuro
technologist. |
So he makes a showy, false
impression of being a cardiac/neuro tech?
|
|
| Achievements: Constructed
HR department from manila files … |
Based on this experience,
is this person applying for an architect's
job, a construction job, or an HR job? |
