Sometimes, being a monumental dork pays off
Whoever said dying of cholera wasn't a marketable skill?
Last week I submitted a resume to a local company that specializes in developing classroom technology for teachers. I listed "Slytherin Prefect at Hogwarts Elite" as previous job experience, put the H_E Slytherin Head Girl as a professional contact, and wrote a screwball cover letter mentioning the fact that I learned to read from playing text adventure RPG's on a Commodore 64 and making reference to my "Oregon Trail glory days on an Apple IIGS" in response to a question about proficiency with Apple OS.
I laughed my ass off and forgot about it.
I have an interview on Monday.
Thus spaketh

(QWP, and the interview was last Monday, the 23rd. I was asked to wait before posting this as to not jinx it)
