For those of you who have said they have experience hiring people, how do you react when you pick up a resume to read puffery and doubletalk like this? I would light a match and watch the pretty flames myself.

You're right; but the flip-side is also true. The "responsibilities" descriptions in corporate job postings read like this all the time. The people who created the corporate culture of writing like this should be horsewhipped with a horsewhip.

You're currently working in the Departmental Board of Duplicate Redundancies, aren't you?



I agree with you and Bob on the 'bullshit' descriptions, though.

I usually show those to my co-workers and we have a laugh before they hit the bin.

If it is done in small or very modest amounts, that is expected and you can read between the lines...and most applicants know this. When done in large amounts I tend to take it as a personal insult, sometimes going so far as to ask the person if they really expect me to believe all the BS.

HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a
kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the
object we are trying to hit.

If they're just plain full of shit, they go in "bin 3" (the "don't hire and send him a form letter the next time he sends it in" pile.) If it looks like they might be hapless victims of a well-intentioned "resume expert" helping them, then we do a phone interview. Takes 5 minutes and tells you if there's any actual meaning behind all those words.
