What a CV

[wendigo100]

Academic excellence entrenched in strong conviction and accompanied by the readiness to learn, unlearn and re-learn are the pillars which define my personality. These, propelled by a desire to create value – for myself, my company, the economy as well as the society constitute my driving force. I aspire to work in a challenging environment where I will be able to stretch my limits and discover new milestones.

This fellow is looking for a technical writing job!!

That's cheered me up. Post it on Monster.

At my last permie job c. 1995, my boss received a CV that was handwritten, as if by an eight year-old, and full of spelling mistakes and crossings out. It was one of the most unbelievable things we'd ever seen.

This guy is absolute crap. I need someone who wants to create value for *me*. Fu*k everyone else.

accompanied by the readiness to learn, unlearn and re-learn

How does one "unlearn" something? Does he mean to forget. So his driving ambition is to receive expensive training to learn things, forget them, then have to go through more expensive training to learn them again. What a knob.

Give him a job. Sounds like he could be great value.

How does one "unlearn" something?

I was wondering about that myself. Here's another chap:

“I am utmost dedicated with zeal to work hard, efficient with high calibre and with extensive experience I shall enhance the given task. Further more, my cooperation with colleagues or given team will be admirable.”

He's a technical author as well. These are real!

Dead giveaway - it's Gordon Brown!

& how can you discover new milestones?

If you find a milestone, that means somebody's been there before you, measured out the route, been to a stonemason and put one there. Not much of a discovery really.
