I've sent out probably 50 resumes in the last 2 weeks, both via email and in person, and spent 2 weeks wondering why NOBODY would call me back. I'm talented and exceptionally qualified with a work ethic that would make a japanese salaryman cry.
then, a few minutes ago as I sat down in front of my computer, I noticed that the open window was the one with my resume on it. Something looked wrong.
I put my fucking old phone number on my resume.
I am sofa king :retard:
So, there's some other schmo out there wondering what the deal is with everyone complaining about the job market, since he has people tossing job opportunities out of the blue at him.....
:lulz:
wow. that really sucks bro.
i've done stupid things like that before that cost me some good opportunities.

Wow.
If it's any consolation, when I was back in Chicago I left my resume in the fax machine at work.
Send a follow up letter saying your number was hacked or something and this ###### is your new number. You apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate their consideration!
Then smack yourself a few times upside the head for having a DUH moment!!!
awww dude - I really feel bad for ya. Job hunting sucks balls enough without having to blame yourself for the unringing phone.
