TIFU by sending raunchy song lyrics instead of my resume...
Post Body

Okay, so... this was a year ago, but I figured it would fit in with some of the stuff I've read on this sub.

Anyway, I was chatting with a friend of mine one day and we came up with this idea to write a really stupid parody of a song. The point of this song was to be as grotesque and raunchy as possible. Walk in the park for me. Being the moron I am, I was also working on updating my resume at the same time and didn't realize that the song lyrics that I made up were saved under my resume file.

Fast forward a few weeks later, I'm sending off my resume to at least 10-15 potential employers. I start to get worried because I hadn't heard back from a single one of them. I decide to double-check to ensure that I had updated my resume to include my most recent job title and job description.

When I open the file, lo and behold, it's the shit song I created. The song about poop. Not just poop. It's about fountains of diarrhea and other unspeakable things. Then I realized that I had JUST sent a resume off to what I thought would be my dream job. Fuck.

At my previous job, part of my daily routine was filtering through applications and resumes... I knew a thing or two about people that have to wade through them... one thing was that apps and resumes sometimes come through about 5-10 times if the server glitches. When that happens, I'd just read the most recent one and trash the others. So, with that in mind, I figured the best way to keep my potential employer from seeing the poop song resume was to spam their inbox with 15 copies of my 'good' resume.

I got a phone interview the next day and was eventually hired.
