[Sunday afternoon - Sunday Sunday SUNDAY - with the PaliScmutzes. They're doin' stuff.]
Schmutzie: You know what you should never have on your resumé?
Palinode: Hobbies? Interests? Education? Job experience? Because employers only respond to charisma.
Schmutzie: None of those.
Palinode: Charisma and servitude.
Schmutzie: Employment objective statements. They generally tank your chances at getting the job.
Palinode: My objective statement is only one word anyway.
Schmutzie: What's that?
Palinode: Glory.

Employment objective: Aiding the proletariat in their goal of overcoming the oppressive powers of those in whom all power corrupts.
You're Hired.......
following Lotus07... I always like to put a "hire this guy!" in a different colour ink hand-written style font on the cover letter... in hopes a potential employer might mistake it for an annotation made by another associate of the firm. While I sadly seldom have the courage to do this when I have I've gotten an interview.
What? The internet isn't enough? : ) Good luck!
I like to put comfortable mediocracy.
sir - That's a great objective. I'd hire you.
lotus07 - Excellent. Please send job description and benefits.
cloudesley - You should include someone's handwritten initials, as in "Hire This Guy! - M.R." That'll help sell it.
bpcook - I'm slightly afraid that an internet search by a prospective employer may reveal this weblog. Fortunately there's a protective screen of blogs maintained by adult parents of children with my name.
nat - That sounds nice. That sounds like a chair I'd like to take a nap in.
