'paradigm resume' resume
The following is an example of a Resume which Paradigm requires of all prospective employees. While it doesn't have to be nearly this complex, it is a good idea to read this, and follow the basics which were used in this example. Please send your resume with a self-addressed stamped envelope to Paradigm, care of the Personal Board. =========================================================================== Hiya, My name is Kappo Kapita, and this is my request for employment in Paradigm Industries. Please give careful consideration to my resume. Education: My educational journey has been a long and difficult one. Even my beginnings were rough. At Da' Hood's Old Pre-Skool of Ebonix, I learnt me some American talk fo fo years. My parents figured me for some kind of genius (most students spent longer in that school -- there was once a 47 year old man that still attended... he was one of those kids that ate/sniffed glue), so they decided to skip me straight to high school. An unfortunate mistake involving a teacher, a baseball bat, an ambulance, a coma, and the plug to a life support machine landed me where I would spend the next few years -- in court -- got me expelled from my high school before I had a chance to finish my lunch on the second day of my freshman year. When I was finally released from the prison, I decided to finish my lunch and my education. My sandwich had become moldy, so I went ahead and applied to NOVA (Which literally means "Don't Go" in Spanish... No Va, and also where the N in NOVA stands for Nowledge), and got my bachelor's degree in Sanitation Engineering. Since then, I've been offered many jobs as "Garbage Man". Experience: The majority of my life has been spent either in getting an education, or in some sort of disciplinary facility. Therefore, I have not had much time to acquire any real job experience, with one exception. I have been able to secure a position as "McNugget Rotator" at a local McDonald's for two weeks, until one of the nuggets incidentally was found mixed in with the french fries. The manager became angry, and I was discharged on the spot. References: George Washington (bribe). Skills/Strengths: What may be most important to a company such as Paradigm Industries is what its employees can contribute to the corporation as a whole. Born and raised in the ghetto, I have had a rough time surviving on my own. As a result of my roots and several years in jail, I feel quite confident with my skills as a PlayerKiller (PKer), and my knot tying skills (soap on a rope). I am also a quick learner, and will be able to, in a minimal amount of time, learn how to perform almost any job with a great amount of efficiency. Some call me a Renaissance Phreak... Again, please take my resume into careful consideration. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, -Kappo Kapita
