In a quirky and creative spin on job applications, a man has taken the internet by storm with a half-printed resume that’s both hilarious and thought-provoking. The viral resume only shows the top half of a traditional job application—complete with the candidate’s partial face and a basic career objective.
But what most people were looking at was the catchy, sassy line halfway down the empty page: "Hire me to unlock my full potential."
Instead of listing experience or qualifications, the resume is cut off right there—deliberately left incomplete to make the point of the witty slogan.
The career objective at the top reads, “To be part of your company wherein I can enhance my skills and gain more knowledge as well as develop my personality as a career person.” But it's the unexpected punchline that truly makes this resume unforgettable.
The witty take has prompted laughs on social media, where users are applauding the candidate's ingenuity, confidence, and sense of humor.
Netizens Reactions
The internet had a lot to say about the viral "half-printed resume."
One person joked, "He'd certainly stand out among the other candidates—but there isn't any contact information, so how's anyone going to 'unlock his full potential'?"
Another wrote off the prank as, "This is definitely something made solely for meme purposes."
To add to the humor, someone posted, "My former boss asked how come wasn't I working so hard anymore. I informed him that his free trial ran out and he had to go premium—got a raise one week later!"
While some questioned the authenticity—“Looks like a Photoshop job on a print error,” one user claimed—others compared resume cultures: “American CVs are so strange. In the UK, we’re told not to include photos at all—to avoid formatting issues and bias.”
