This whole thing was probably conceived to give Paris Hilton more publicity. Who cares? Why does anybody care about her?

Resume sucked. by Horse+Rotorvator+JAD · 2005-01-12 02:24 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Did anyone read the "hackers" resume linked at the SecurityFocus site? It really sucked. What is it with so many people having such shitty resumes? It is no wonder that people cannot get jobs in the IT field with resumes like that.
