We're recruiting at work and since we're not a "sexy" company the candidates we get seem to be the ones who couldn't get hired anywhere else. (If you know anyone good, introduce me and I'll split the referral bonus with ya.)

But one thing I see alot, and it really pisses me off and can spoil me impression of an otherwise decent candidate is when they put stuff on their resume that shouldn't be there. If you say that you know perl, don't say "Oh, I just used that in school" when I ask you about it. If you include "Master's Thesis: A Method for Generating Finite Improbability using Brownian Motion" then don't say "oh that was so long ago, I don't really remember it" when I ask about it. It makes you look really bad.

Another thing that annoys me is "2005 - till date". when the fuck is "till date"? 'Cause an awful lot of people stopped working then...
