More from the online resume board. Check out this excerpt from a resume cover letter:

I will say this though - I have a master’s degree so DO NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH SALES POSITIONS (I’M NOT A USED CAR SALESMAN) AND POSITIONS THAT ARE BENEATH ME. Please also bare in mind that I live on the east coast so please take heed that it might be later for me if you call at a certain time depending on where you are from. I have the experience and the education to work in an actual position.

ALL CAPS = Trouble. Let’s parse out one sentence in this masterpiece - I think the logic here is a masters degree is too good for sales because all sales positions are equivalent to used car sales which are beneath him.

Some times you don’t need assessments.
