By chance I found some guy's resume in a discarded carrying bag. His name is unimportant.

Here is his Education Summary:

Honors Baccalaureate Degree, Film and Television Studies, from a local Community College.

Skills include: Time and Stress Management. Beverage Crafting. Avid Communication Skills. Interpersonal De-escalation, Inventory Logging, Customer Connecting, Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite.

His other skills include having filmed a 'slow pitch softball season on his phone'.

If the boss has first look at resumes, he immediately throws this one in the discard pile, because the guy has obviously used a template, and he spelled 'Honors' in American English.

Current Occupation: Barista.

The boss thinks, 'any idiot should be able to pour coffee in a Starbucks, with twenty minutes' training'. Next.

 
  • Haha
Reactions: bobbywings
In that same vein, and forgive the hijack - whats with this "queen" and "king" shit?
Blokes talking like "I'm a young king..." etc.

Now get off my lawn!
 
Making stuff up to feel superior again...

The same people who would whine about this imaginary resume are the same people who 5-10 years ago whined that young people didn't learn any sort of work ethics and who are now crying that "nobody wants to work anymore"

Kid's got his foot in the job market while he looks for something in his field. Any boss that scoffs at that deserves to be shot out of a cannon and into a wall, covered in hot pepper and razors.

Also if you think being a barista only means pouring coffee then by all means go work for a coffee place for a while we'll see how you measure up.
