How well is your CV written? Is it the perfect one or does it get trashed once the HR manager looks at it?

The little things that you do in your personal life translate into what you write in your CV.

These little things are as simple as a shopping list and any mistakes made there can easily be made in your CV.

Have a look at the secrets your shopping list reveals

In an article by the People Daily these lists are discarded in shopping carts, trolleys, supermarket floors, parking bays, dustbins and even tucked in returned books in libraries.

“They offer an intimate peek into a complete stranger’s life by succinctly revealing what people write on scraps of paper they never expect anyone else to see!” reads the article.

So what exactly do shopping lists reveal?

1. Domestic issues.
A threatening shopping list read, “Macharia, you come home tonight without my human hair (It costs Sh6,000) don’ t even touch or talk to me!

It’s end month, so no excuse about not having money!”

Probably the ‘Macharia’ had no option but to go home with the desired item.

2. Poor grammar and spelling mistakes
Who wrote the following? A 6-year old? No?

“ Yoghurt, icekrim, onion peppered crisps, nodiles (sic), buttmilk (sic), cream of salary (sic) soup, cayenne pepper, pliers, soda, kotex.”

Most shoppers either do not care about spelling, or have problem with them.

“It is not a surprise that a lover of mayonnaise has difficulty spelling the salad maker as is the case with another user of ‘stunded’ (studded) condoms as shown in a discarded list,” part of the article reads.

3. Your economic class
The writer says, “Some shopping lists ooze class and opulence, while others point to the hard-economic times some of the shoppers live in.”
I prefer to think these are the ones with Cooking fat (Kshs10) compared to Elianto Cooking Oil (5 litres)

4. Horrible handwriting
“Glimpse at shoppers’ lists especially those by last-minute ones. They are hurriedly scrawled on pieces of paper such as carton, business card, envelope and dismembered newspapers.” says the paper.

6. What you are making for supper
“A keen collection of shopping lists discarded in trolleys or supermarket floors could make a fascinating story just from their ingredients.

A lot of them you could look at and say, OK, someone’s making ugali tonight, someone is sick or has a sick person in the family or planning on having sex and safe one to boot!” reads the article.

7. Your marital status
The list that starts with “We needs,” followed by a list of things including “yougurts” and “banans”? depicts a shopper in a relationship, but with spelling problems or no attention to details.

8. Where someone works.
“There are notes written on office stationery, rent payment slips and mortgage statements, and lists on envelopes with people’s physical address,” the article confirms
