Today, I decided to modify my resume since I've handed out over 30 of them in the past couple of weeks and I haven't gotten any calls back. As soon as I opened it on word document, I noticed that I had forgotten to include my phone number for employers to contact me. FML

Today, I applied for my first job. I didn't know how to write a resume, so I copied and pasted one from someone else and reworked it. I got on the bus, handed it in, and left. Then I remembered I forgot to change the contact info and date. FML

Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML

Today, my 16 yr old cousin needed help making a job resume so I give him mine to see as an example. He changed my name to his and it got him a job right away. The sad part? I handed my resume out to about 30 places and I am still unemployed. FML

Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML

Today, my parents switched phone companies, which changed the phone number. Two days ago, I dropped off over 15 job applications with my 'old' number on all of them. There is a waiting period before I can reapply anywhere. FML

I sent my resume by email this year and wrote a bunch of crap in my email about how I pay attention to details. I forgot to attach the resume : /

epic fail for not including contact info. if i were a manager i wouldn't hire you just for the sole reason of being an idiot.

You didn't add any other contact information? Not even e-mail? I'm assuming you didn't, otherwise you would have been contacted and they would have asked for your number. You know unless they didn't want you.

Contact information should be the third thing you add. It usually goes like this: Name(first thing) Address(second thing) Contact information(third thing) Previous jobs(fourth thing) Accomplishments/hobbies/other(fifth thing) References(sixth thing)
