Resume Consultancy

One of my very close relative was giving consultancy to the batchmates. She came across many funny resumes incidents:
1. Family history: This person was very particular about providing the details of his family member in the resume  e.g. his younger brother is a school swimmer champion. My relative first tried to explain that this information is irrelevant for any employer. But he was NOT budging. So she said frustatingly then why dont you put your Family Tree in your resume. He said that " OH! thats a great Idea. I have space too in the resume for putting that up"

2. Objective: After looking at another person's resume, who has written that "I want to become XXX in two years" as an objective. She suggested that why dont you come up with some long term objective. After an hour or so he came back with following GREAT options for objectives to be written in the resume:
a) This is the better one. " I want to work at some place where I can earn very good money without working" Very true. Who doesnt want that, except the employer :)
b) " I want to marry a very beautiful girl" . He said that actually Beautiful is not the correct word but sexy is the right word, but he cant put that in his resume. How right!!! But he can put his marriage ambitions in his resume. I beg you pardon. Yes. this resume was for job... NOT for marraige proposal.

THINK OF SOMEONE WHO IS GIVING CONSULTANCY TO THEM :)
