Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!

Gotta love word for word translations; they do absolutely squat for the varied syntax between languages or context in a sentence. I suspect we'd sound just as corny in other languages too, mind you!
And yet, it's still more honest and readable than some of the stuff people who can only speak the one language...

It reads like poetry!

Actually, that's pretty much how my dad got his start here in Canada.
He came over from Germany to learn English for a job in Sweden, since it was a requirement and he only knew a handful of words. He didn't have a resume (as he said, it wouldn't have meant anything to people who had no idea what these places were and couldn't read German anyways) but he did have his own tools (he's a mechanic/millwright), and he managed to persuade the owner of a repair shop to take him on basically for free for two weeks to see his work, and decide if he wanted to keep him on.
He did.
Dad ended up staying in Canada, was a very successful mechanic (since retired), and ended up running his own repair business, which my brother has since taken over.
So this sort of thing can definitely work out! :-)

This was....well....sad. I think the truly sad thing is I have seen even worse resumes handed in at my place of business, including a crumpled up one that was handwritten in pencil.
