What's crueler: dating or job-hunting?

Oh, I’ve done my share of hiring. Luckily, I haven’t had any psychos make it past the initial cull.

Sometimes, I’ve been tempted to call in some of the crazy looking people, just for the entertainment. Come to think of it, a lot of applicants seem to think that they are dating. One guy included the douchebaggiest myspace photo on the front page of his resume (spiked hair, fake tan, popped collar) and his first paragraph boasted:

Awesome.

(Come to think of it, the person I actually hired that time around had an e-mail address that was foxy_marley@something.com Usually, that would be an immediate disqualification. (sweetitalianbooty@hotmail.com wasn’t so lucky.)
