    Working in an Internet café, about three years ago there was a big group of Chinese students looking for summer jobs. Since the majority didn't have computer skills, they came to me with written pieces of paper for me to type out. I must have done at least thirty of them. Most of them were kinda fine, very basic and nothing special, but functional. However, there was one lad who's CV was quite ehrm.....see for yourself! So below is an actual CV I typed up. Its 100% the actual CV, I just replaced some things with asterisks (stars):

    Work experience

    In China, I worked in factory, staff member in supermarket and waiter in hotel.

    In China, the capital is Beijing. I’m studying GCI school. In domestic I attend college, learned about tour and management in hotel. I know management level of hotels. It’s very best in Ireland. I love work in hotels and supermarkets. So I’d like to become master in hotel or supermarket. I will do it best and great. Do well done. I believe God. You believe me? I felt Ireland people very friendly. You’re going to China. You must be to visit the great wall. It’s very grand! Chairman Mao said: “Not arrive the great wall you is not a hero!”

    Sorry if its not all that funny to ye.

    As someone who has to review CVs to select candidates from time to time, this CV is absolutely hilarious, a real cracker. Maybe not so funny to students. :D I promise to do better next time.

    Don't mind them JacQues I cracked up at the last stuff. So the people here don't think that recommending sites to visit in China and quoting Mao is funny and it's just a translation issue? Stick to dick jokes if you wanna please the moron brigade :)

    any CV that quotes Chairman Mao is impressive in the hilarity stakes, in my book. :D
