The 12 most hilarious CVs in the history of jobseeking

It’s safe to say that these people did not get the job.

IF THERE’S ONE thing people love to go on about when you’re looking for a job, it’s “put a lot of effort into your CV.”

Well, these people took that advice, considered it, and then did the exact opposite – with comical results.

1. The irony is strong in this one

This is the equivalent of going for a job at a fancy stationery shop and handing your CV in on the back of an old napkin.

2. Applying for the role of Editor-In-Chimp, no doubt

It features a monkey wearing glasses on the phone. GIVE THIS PERSON THE JOB RIGHT NOW.

This person accidentally sent in a picture of Nicolas Cage instead of their CV and Cover Letter due to a mix up with a .zip file. Still, it could work?
