This post can be blamed on a confluence of unrelated events: the Monday Mission, which asks this week for a post in the form of a resume, and the approach of Talk Like a Pirate Day (which is coming up on Wednesday, September 19.) This resume is very loosely based on a sample resume. Actually, quite a lot of lines from the resume worked pretty well from that verbatim. Arrrr.
i LOVE this. Arrr!
you are freaking KILLING me over here.
Arrrr! I’ll give you a job stealing some gold coins and kidnapping some wenches.
I knew that “Talk Like A Pirate Day” was on the horizon but I didn’t know when. I’m happy to have the reminder.
This was freakin’ hilarious btw.
That is wonderful. I’d hire you, if I needed a pirate.

If the grad school thing doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll look into pirating.

NotSoSage-
Aye, that is what they tell me when they turn me down for the job. Or mayhaps I need to finetune me interview skills. Arrrrr.
