How about this -- an excerpt from the Accomplishments section:

"Introduced the idea of putting Confidential: To be opened only by employee on pay slips, in Asia"

Reminds me of Romy and Michelle, the inventors of Post-It...

Having just hired a Finance Manager, I came across a few "interesting" things on CV's, but in a list of five achievements in previous finance roles that the applicant had, the last achievement was:
Co-ordinator of Thai labour camp.

Not really sure what it meant, but is not really an achievement I was looking for in a Finance Manager!

not a resume blooper but an interview one.
i interviewed a guy for an analyst position at my i-bank a couple years ago. he showed up wearing a white suit...

during a super saturday had another potential candidate ask one of my coworkers out loud, in front of everyone, how much ass my coworker got.

needless to say we did not call them back...made for some funny stories though...

What's wrong with the white suit ? (keep in mind I am in IB too) if the guy has a great resume and shows really good skills during the interview.........I do not see a problem.
