I'm so sad that I didn't keep a copy of the BEST. RESUME. EVAR.
It was from a guy applying for an engineering position. It was something like 4 pages long.
The first two pages were his employment history, which consisted entirely of 2-3 month engagements.
Then he went into his educational history, which he decided to do in forward-chronological order...starting with how he was in a magnet program for kid geniuses when he was 5, and how he won a spelling bee or something. Needless to say, his academic achievements were all downhill from there.
The last page was a list of books he was reading. The part I remember from this was something like "I'm currently reading a book on object-oriented programming. Objects are useful for storing your data and doing things to it. I'm also reading a book about threads, which are good for making your program run faster. Please see my website if you want to learn more about objects and threads."

It was the funniest, saddest thing I ever read.
