The Battle of the Office Supplies continues...
The Paper Fort has folded. The Paper Clips, while victorious, are bent out of shape and were easy pickings for the Staple Removers. Those Staple Removers are sharp and dangerous, but so are the Thumb Tacks and Push Pins. Who will emerge as the Superior Office Supply?

The hole punch, of course. It is clearly the most violent office supply, what with the word "punch" in its name. |

Off topic, I just stapled completed rubrics to 36 student papers. If the staples went awry and they stabbed themselves, could I be sued?
On topic, would SC members reject your application out of hand if they were stabbed?

Not if you put a magic potion on the staples so they'd fall in love with your CV immediately afterward... |

Yes, this is why you need to put tape, jell, or a NMR on the back of the staple. We covered this about 10 pages ago. ;) |

As long as I get to choose who is next to me. Also, you must find a skin-safe stapler. As we discussed around p. 12, staples are NOT safe for people or skin. |

But, don't most folks submit the CV electronically, these days? No staples needed and easy for the SC to reproduce. I got to thinking and the last few times I was on the market, it was all electronic (i.e. email or online submission).
Therefore, no staple conundrum.
No, you still can add an image of a staple on the top left. Or you can use the virtual stapler (just click on the stapler). |

I just noticed that this thread had somehow disappeared in the well of threads unseen.
It is still necessary, for Yea, the same questions continue to be asked again and again.
Harken and read. Rarken and heed.
