Although an update is around the corner (I promise), I had to share this line that was found in a cover letter to us this week:
"In difficult situations, I become child like..."
What the hell does this mean?
Out of all the stupid things you could write in a cover letter, this one leaves me scratching my head somewhat.
Does it mean she chucks a hissy fit if she doesn't get things her way?
Or perhaps it means that when things go wrong, she will totally deny it and act all innocent?
Or perhaps it means that she expects to be spanked and sent to her room without any super?
None of these are really good options and so it does leave me wondering why you would write something in a document that is meant to sell your skill set. It's almost worth getting her in just to explain it!
It doesn't help that the recruitment agency who sent us the CV seemed to act exactly the same way when we asked them what it meant...
