What a Crappy Job

Post your crappy job

Internship Application Reviewer

Probably the worst job I have ever had was when I worked at a local advertising agency where I had to help review summer internship applications. We would receive a crazy number of applications from students wanting to intern at our agency, and they put me in charge of “reviewing” them. By reviewing I mean throwing the majority of the applications away because I didn’t feel like reading that much. To make it tolerable, I actually played a little game where I would place a bunch of the applications on the wall and throw darts at them, whichever ones I hit were the ones we would interview. It was a huge crappy waste of time.

    This is disheartening and frightening for those of us preparing for summer internships! You’ve got me googling “shred-proof paper”, which apparently does not exist. But wouldn’t it be funny if somebody went to shred my resume and it fubared (definition at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fubared) their shredder. Muah-ha-ha-ha, that’s what you get!!

    Don’t be discouraged! You should follow up on the idea of a shred proof resume. I think a resume literally set in stone would be nice, a la Flintstones.
