You won't here. 2)Organized office football pool for 5 years Response: Hmmm, last I checked, that wasn't in the job description. 3)References available upon request Response: Thanks. If we're interested, we'll ask for them. 4)Email: ilikesbeer@address.com Response: Thank you for sharing. Circular file! 5)Saved company money Response: Well, that's nice. But how much? 6)Didn't work for six months due to medical condition Response: Legally, I can't ask about this, but since you volunteered this information, I'm off the hook. 7)Thirty years with just one company Response: So, why do you want to make a change now? 8)OBJECTIVE: Accounting position Response: I like reading resumes as much as I like doing my taxes, so make it easier on me and give me more information. 9)Was president of college fraternity Response: Wonder if he knows the `ilikesbeer' guy? 10)Verry detail-focussed Response: Yeah right!
