Received an unformatted, 12 page resume that was a nightmare on the eyes and listed every single thing the person had done starting at the age of 9 or so.
I received this resume probably 4-5 times in the course of a week. I finally responded, assuring the girl I had indeed received her resume, that she only needed to send it once and that the position had already been filled.
She wrote back, asking why she wasn't called in for an interview.
I stated bluntly that her resume wasn't even looked at because it was too difficult to read. I suggested that she trim it down to one page, eliminate anything that wasn't necessary and make it easy to read, I even sent her a few urls of resume templates to see examples.
She responded with a threatening letter about "be careful when you cross the street you don't know who you insulted that may be driving" and then started an online campaign against me and the organization claiming we post fake jobs just to troll naive students.
That was the last time I ever said yes to "Do you want to take on some interns?" and I also learned why HR almost never contacts people unless there is an offer.
