Nowadays getting a job as a game of talent, as much as the art of creativity and attention. A young man did something similar, who was looking for a job for a long time but despite sending the resume, he was not getting any response.
Fed up, he gave a new look to his resume and a fake style. He described himself as a PhD holder from Hogwarts University and wrote that he could speak 97 languages. What happened after this fake, shocked everyone.
In this viral incident, the young man added some such things to his resume that will draw attention to anyone as soon as he read. For example, he wrote that he has done PhD from “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry”. He can speak 97 languages. He has done masters in the art of ordering pizza. These things not only caught the attention of social media but also the companies.
When the young man shared this ‘funny resume’, it went viral within a few hours. People described it as funny and creative. On Twitter (X), many users shared it and wrote, “Now the same method has to be adopted to bring a call for the interview.” Many HR professionals also shared it and admitted that, “We are bored by seeing a robot -like resumes, if something is different, it definitely goes on meditation.”
Many companies contacted the young man after reading this ‘fake but fun’ resume. Some praised only, while some also called for the interview. People said, “The resume may be fake, but it shows creativity and difference which is necessary in today’s corporate world.”
Even though the purpose of this young man has been laughing, but he raised a big question, do we make our resume very formal and boring? In today’s competition, it is necessary that your profile looks different from the crowd. And the same thing did this young man, taking a little risk, but Smartali.
After this incident, many HR and recruitment experts said that thousands of resumes are seen every day and most of them are copy-pests. But when someone shows creativity, he immediately attracts attention. So now is the time to give a little personal touch to the resume so that your skills as well as your personality also reflect.
It is clear that it is not right to lie or give fake information. But it can definitely be learned from this incident how important presentations and innovations have become. There was creativity in this resume, which would make the front one smile and stop – and this is also the demand of today.
