Things NOT To Look For In Your Staff
Using your sick days to be a pro-wrestler is something to look out for. Hands-on exorcism experience that involves killing nuns is something else to look out for. It's a tough job market out there no matter which side of the desk you sit on. Even if you're a virus writer, it's a dog-eat-dog world where the nasty are getting nastier. What are some job tips for common staffing dilemmas?
First, if you've ever been a female impersonator trying to take your sister's exams, best to leave that off the old resume. Especially if you made your sister a little "over endowed" if you know what I mean. Artistic license is one thing. Getting caught is another entirely.
If you've clicked on the wrong button on your computer and ended up at a major poker tournament, that's a keeper. Just change the story around so that it was some clever technique instead of a mistake.
Finally, if you've invented a new technique to cover up the smell of hog manure, might be something to include, but you might want to skip the pictures or scratch-n-sniff in the portfolio.
