Depending on the job, it can be important to gussie up your resume with a few buzz words and projects you had a hand in, but some people take it too far. And no one wants to be in the embarrassing position of having to admit you lied on your resume to a potential employer. Hiring managers see some real wtf moments during interviews.

It's seemingly inconsequential mistakes like this that keep us up at night. This dude could've had opportunity knocking at his door 2 years ago were it not for just a few small mistakes that made him invisible to potential employers. At least he figured it out eventually. Reminds us of this guy who literally lived in the dark for 6 years.

Elski Felson wants a job at Snapchat, but instead of submitting a traditional resume, he created one using the app.
“Personally, I hate paper resumes,” he says in the video. “I don’t think a piece of paper can encapsulate anybody. So I decided to make you a ‘My Story.'”
He then goes through the requirements (presumably for this Community Support Specialistposition) line by line to prove his worth.
Watch him demonstrate that he is and expert spreadsheet wizard, multi-tasker and ugly selfie sender among the other qualifications listed on the page.
“I’ve been searching for a professional job for almost 8 months now. I’m totally fed up with the system,” he writes on Reddit. “Applying online over and over and hearing nothing back… it’s a disheartening crapshoot.”
Well hopefully Snapchat will catch wind of the video and at least grant him an interview for putting in all the extra effort.
