Dumb & Dumber
One of the things I hate most about job hunting is writing a resume. The basic parts aren't that bad, but I hate trying to write an "Objective:" statement. Much like a company's Mission Statement, they're about as useless as teats on a boar hog.
The way I look at it, my 'Objective' is to get a damn job. And if you're too stupid to look at my resume and figure out whether or not I'm right for a position with your company, well, I prolly don't want to work for you.
And when I'm trying to write the stupid things, I have these almost uncontrollable urges to write something silly just to see if anyone reads them. Like:
Objective: To work as a liasion between legal & IT departments and force them to become my evil minions.
Objective: The same thing we do every day Pinky. Try to take over the world.
Or my personal favorite:
Objective: Burma!
See what I mean?
Now it's your turn. What's the dumbest/silliest Objective statement you've ever seen on a resume? Or, what's the dumbest/silliest one you can think of?
Let 'er rip.

Objective: whatever job will get me lots of hot sex.
