Recruiter Stories #2: Stop! I'm the One

I sit and spend the whole day browsing through a CV database. Not the most creative of tasks, shall we say. Search, open, review, close. Search again, open, review, save, close. Search, open, review, send an email, close. Hey, have you fallen asleep yet? Still reading?

But in this endeavour there is also an element of entertainment. These are the creative CV titles from candidates. Many have expressed themselves as best they could. Word of honour - all of them are transcribed from a real database, I have not added anything poetic of my own, except perhaps adding diacritical marks:

"The Miraculous One",
"Aspiring financier – pianist",
"Guru of digits and numbers",
"I guarantee good work",
"A person who is needed at every workplace!",
"A clever woman",
"Communication ace",
"Ready for discoveries!",
"For everyone to be well, you need to be with me",
"Not my CV, a lad just borrowed my profile",
"Looking for a job",
"Moonlighting - that's not for me",
"A young person with no bad habits",
"Important!".

And then I notice in the list - "Stop! I'm the one." I can bet that any of you, having read such a title, would click on the link to open it and satisfy your curiosity. I open it. IT IS. A lad built like an oak tree (judging by the photo), desired position - company director. Age - 21 years. Work experience - 22 items. Oops! Indeed - stop!
