The Dumbest Thing I've Done In A Very Long Time

[East Coast Hustle]

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

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.....

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!!!
