"Your CV will be sufficient, Mr. Cooper."

"I'm long term unemployed because jerks like you won't hire me!"

'Is that the extent of your work experience, court ordered community service?'

'We're looking for an award-winning sales professional. Those are trophies. You're overqualified.'

"You're overqualified. Could you dumb it down a little?"

'Why yes, the resume is a very important basis for who we hire.'

We're so pleased with your twenty years work, we've decided to offer you a two year short term contract.

"Last question. Where do you see yourself thirty seconds from now?"

"Your resume shows you have had numerous jobs and in all of them you were rather invisible."

"John, does this mean you've given up looking for work?"

"We kiss a lot of frogs so that you find your prince."

'I know we got the job, but trust me, ‘dress for success' always applies, even after the interview.'

'What are frills and luxuries, that you've earmarked as needs, doing on your application?'

'Very impressive. If we ever need an arm wrestler, we'll be sure to give you a call.'

"Yes, we are accepting resumes. Just put yours in our resume pool."

"I suppose we should be grateful that at least there's no chance of our jobs being outsourced!"

"Why do I want this job? Because I'm really tired of filling out employmemt application forms!!"
