Things I learned while looking through the online applications at work:
1. Being able to type 60 words a minute is great, unless your first language is "gibberish"
2. If you're in the second or third year of your degree, being able to spell the name of your major is optional.
3. People really want me to know about their hobbies (particularly their anime collections)
4. Either people can't read, or else there are really people who think I'll hire them for one day a week
5. I will never lose my job, as all of the applicants for it want way more money than I make (or can make).

One fellow brought in an application where I work -- under driver's licence number, he wrote, "Getting new car."
... "What," my manager inquired, "does getting a new car have to do with his driver's licence number?"
