Thomas spotted this poster advertising a free resume workshop. The main typo is that the word YOUR should be YOU’RE, but the glaringly excessive quotation marks and underlining made this poster very shameful. Thomas blurred out the name of the offending sponsor of the resume workshop. Captured with a camera-phone, January 26, 2006.
