Sentence on a CV, (WTF?) is it me?

[anonymous-user]

[redacted]

[V8mate]

I wouldn't let him near your missus.

[crofty1984]

Reads as trying too hard to sound smart to me. Clarity wins over flowery language everytime for me.

[Du1point8]

Assuming its not a mis-spelling:

I’m motivated to the highest degree and have complete adulteration to succeeding success in my life

Im motivated to the highest degree and have complete ability to do anything legal or illegal to be a success in my life.

[Soovy]

Terrible nonsense, and written in incorrect English too.

Bin it.

[Liszt]

reminded of the joke about climbing the ladder to suck Cess

So basically he likes to "cheat" he way to the top.

Get him in and start the interview by telling he he has 10 seconds to explain what the fk he is on about. I am betting you'll get 10 seconds of "erm"s and "and"s.

there's your problem.....

[V8mate]

Is a Bachelor's Degree sourced from the cup-a-soup people?

[Du1point8]

Makes me think that this person doesn't understand the english language well at all and they is just a complete BSer simply from those 2 sentences (if you can call them that), I wonder if he has in fact got qualifications, or they are bought and they sat with a thesaurus when writing (copy the CV off someone else) and changing certain parts.

I think he was going for some variant of " adulation" and didn't think to check the word he clicked when it came up as a spelling correction. I'd put money on that in fact.

[Odie]

Did it say 'written on my iphone' at the end of his CV?

[Digger]

How does the rest read?

[softtop]

added to the fact that he is going to be succeeding success, will he/she take over from success at this point?

Took it from someone else and forgot to change all of the words so ended up with the same word in there twice.

what is their first language? [serious question]

Cant ask questions like that, but I was thinking the exact same thing as its pretty bad for someone who is at university standard education to be that bad at spelling.

Whats the job OP?

One of the CV's I have just been sent contains a sentence that has baffled me

I’m motivated to the highest degree and have complete adulteration to succeeding success in my life

Now, I'm prepared to cut a lot of slack before I judge as this chap has three A-Levels and is currently;

Currently studying Business Management, Bachelor’s Degree (Hons) level

So, for the second, I'll presume it is my uneducated brain that is the problem. However, would the PH masses please clarify, does this sentence make sense at all?

A thoroughly illiterate spastic who is not worth a further second of your time.

Why not? It's on nearly every application form i've seen!

Ok, it's normally phrased as "In what languages are you fluent? (Please state level of fluency)"
