Written by Brittany Styles on September 29, 2020
If you’re an employer, chances are you’ve seen some pretty interesting things on resumes. A recent survey conducted by Zippia revealed the top weirdest things people put on their resumes, and the state they live in. Check this out!
How did they do it? Zippia “gathered up the most disproportionately common interests found on people’s resumes in each state across the country, by analyzing a veritable boatload of resumes. 3,543,017 to be exact.” They looked at keywords that popped up the most in people’s ‘additional interests’, across the country. Then they made this map, cause, maps are cool.
How did Kardashian end up on someone’s resume? In this case, here was the context: “One of less than 15 companies included in several backstage Swag/Celebrity events such as MTV, BET, The GRAMMY’s, Emmy Awards, and Steve Harvey Neighborhood Awards for 8 years in a row. -Designed and worked for many TV networks and celebrities such as The Kardashians, Beyonce Knowles Carter, Paris Hilton, and other industry favorites”. That person lived in California, but also means there must have been others who mentioned Kardashian in their resume, in California. And, so there it is on the map!
