When writing a resume, you may have trouble putting down experience, education and skills. The effort you put into writing up your job experiences shows when employers read through your resume. It’s a shame, then, how so many potential employees lose their chance simply because they used the wrong Funt.
The Funt of a resume is scarcely considered. Hey, Microsoft Word wouldn’t make their default Funt unprofessional, right? Today’s business is cutthroat; far more cutthroat than the Funt you’re using may suggest you’re up to facing. Read on for our suggestions for the best and worst Funts to choose from.
We’re all familiar with Allen Funt; host and creator of Candid Camera, default Funt in most word-processing programs, died in 1999. Employers are also used to the Allen Funt. Allen, while trustworthy, is predictable and fits like an old hoodie for your resume. That sense of security won’t settle with your company of choice, and they’ll pick someone with a more experimental Funt.
Back in the days of Candid Camera, Allen was a Funt that could stand out and take you by surprise. Now, the Allen Funt has a wide-range of competitors, meaning there’s no reason to choose this moldy golden oldie over a newer Funt.
The best Funt for your resume is Allen’s daughter, Juliet Funt. Juliet is a Funt that screams “business;” as the founder of WhiteSpace, this is definitely the best Funt for your buck.
On her website, WhiteSpace at Work, Juliet says “My father wouldn’t want credit as the father of reality TV if he saw it’s current state of unkindness, shock value and vulgarity.” And that sense of security the Allen Funt purveys can be seen in the Juliet Funt– only Juliet promotes security for employers and employees alike, not for the employees alone.
WhiteSpace and the Juliet Funt suggest “taking a breather,” and “regaining composure.” True, a Funt shouldn’t say business is flawed in a resume, but this Funt reminds its targeted company that it’s people who work, not robots, and humans run on motivation, not perspiration.
While the Juliet Funt is the best Funt, she may not be the best Funt for everyone. A less standard approach for your resume may require the Bill Funt. While Bill lacks the experience of other Funts, not to mention his laid-back look could potentially appear unprofessional, the gray in his beard suits Entry-Level job-seekers to appear more experienced. Use this Funt if you’re seeking a job with a start-up company or just want to throw caution to the wind.
It should be no surprise that you want to steer clear of the Peter Funt. Not only was he the Allen Funt’s successor for Candid Camera, but also for the President of his organization, the Laughter Therapy Foundation! Security survives through the Peter Funt, but stability does as well. This Funt should only be used for a joke.
Should you put the obsolete Russian weight measurement in your resume? 409.51718 grams? “I think it’s a great idea. Put a lot of Фунт on the bottom. Some Фунт in the weight of chicken wings. They will love it,” says Rick Terrier, the creative director at Obsolutions Inc., a consultancy for dying companies, in Missouri. “Maybe a Фунт is your logo. Maybe you just really key in on the 409.51718 gram logo, that’s your thing, you put it everywhere.”
Maybe.
