Our CVs and resumes form the very first impression on potential employers so needless to say they need to be impeccable. Even the minutest of mistakes could lead to employers chucking your CV out of the window. This is the reason why people spend days and days fine tuning their CVs checking for any errors in sentence structure to grammatical errors to typos.
Now creating the perfect CV is not a simple task and therefore websites offer a number of CV templates for people to choose from to make creating a CV easier for them. But sometimes, people are so focussed on taking care of the minute details that they forget to fix the bigger, more apparent problems. That is exactly what happened with this woman and it was only after submitting her CV and job application to her employer that she realised her mistake.?
Like many others, Marissa used a template to make her CV but she forgot to replace all the sample information with her own. It was only after she sent her application that she realised she forgot to replace the stock photo used in the template. As they say in India¡ nakal me bhi akal lagti hai.?
The error made the student teacher appear to be a male medical professional with a stethoscope around his neck.
"You think you¡¯re having a bad day? I just sent this resume without changing the template picture," Marissa wrote on TikTok while posting a video of the error.?
The video has gone viral and is leaving people in splits. One user commented, ¡®Just imagine the confusion on the HR employee's face¡¯, while another said, "Girl, not to make the situation worse, but I haven't stopped laughing in 10 mins.¡¯
