When Bullet Points Attack A story about a girl who really loves

When Bullet Points Attack A story about a girl who really loves 55 Flares 55 Flares A Corn on the Job reader sent over a little gem of an email today.  She had found something that she thought I could possibly use on COTJ.  She was right.  Jackpot! Please remember, Im not making fun of this job seeker.  I dont know who they are, and if I did, Id offer them my advice/guidance/coaching.  But I dont, so Im merely poking fun at them and hoping it teaches the rest of us a big lesson.  Never mind, I MIGHT be making fun of them a little, but its totally warranted.  Promise. Bullet points are supposed to be simple, right?  Their purpose is to point out important information on a resume and lead the readers eyes to where they should focus.  This is pretty much standard information that weve learned since before even comprehending what a resume is.  You know, like 3rd grade stuff.  Well apparently, not everyone is aware. You are now about to see part of a resume that clearly shows the job seeker utilizes hearts for bullet points.  Sigh. Theres not much to say.  She used hearts for her bullet points and because of that, I cant look at anything else.   Maybe this would be a bad ass idea if she was applying to work for a dating site, but there arent many other examples where Id say its a good idea. Im kind of at a loss for words, so how about you take over from here. What do you think?  Do you think recruiters will laugh at this?  Did you laugh at this?
