This has absolutely nothing to do with the serious business of recruiting, job searches, interviews, or resumes–but it will make you laugh. Jeff Wysaski has written several amusing obituaries, not about people but about objects! For example:
House plant passed away last night. While cause of death is still unknown, dry leaves and cracked soil indicate underwatering. Because owner neglect may have contributed to the death, police are investigating the matter as a potential case of plant-slaughter. If you have any info related to the death, please contact authorities.
