Work and Job interview: Beyond help

Beyond help

Today, I explained to my sister that the reason she isn't getting job offers is probably because her résumé is in Comic Sans and contains TXT language and a lot of typos. She thanked me for my help by calling me a "clueless horse-fucker" and telling me to shut my mouth. FML

Today, my sister felt guilty and told me about the changes she secretly made to my résumé months ago. She'd put "doing your mom" and "corporate espionage" as my hobbies, and "Justin Bieber's pussy waxer" as a previous job. No wonder I'm still unemployed. FML

Today, while home from college for the weekend, my sister started whining about how I keep using "big fancy college words" and making her feel bad. My sister is 27 and teaches elementary school. The word I used was "ludicrous." FML

Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML

Today, my sister and I heard back from a job we both applied to. I had used the knowledge from my MBA degree to write a six-page essay for the application, while she just copied and pasted hers from a random website. Guess who got the job. FML

Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML

There are some people in the world who just don't want help, OP. My question is, how old is your sister? If she's in high school, I wouldn't worry as much. If she's in college, I'd start preparing for the worst.

Weird Al Yankovic's "Tacky" contains a line about printing your résumé in Comic Sans. :-/

I'm sorry she was rude to you OP, but don't feel too bad about it. She's the clueless one - not you. She won't be getting a job until she changes not only her résumé, but also her attitude towards others.

You should have never told her about your equine dalliances... Now she's going to bring that up every time she's mad at you.

Sorry to hear that OP. My kid bro asked me for my help in writing a cover letter for a game company he wants to work for. After explaining what was wrong with it he stopped talking to me. I work for a AAA game company.
