Question:
I'm considering revising my resume to distribute during a trip to San
Francisco. I'm wondering how I might reflect on my resume being 'under
surveillance' by George W. Bush since 1999 for his personal entertainment?
I am rather disgruntled about this experience as it has been against my will
and without compensation - although I 'hear' that if I were willing to let
it go I might be quite a successful businessman. I take that as meaning
that if I were in a field of business that could accept no bid government
contracts - the tax payers might unknowingly pay for W's infringement of my
Constitutional Rights. I'm not entirely certain just what other
infringement of personal freedoms that might make me eligible for.
At any rate, considering my disposition regarding this experience, I doubt
that I might expect nor want a recommendation from W. Knowing his now
infamous penchant for dishonesty and total inability to accept fault. I
wouldn't expect any official acknowledgement at all. Practically the whole
state of Oklahoma knows of this and many have taken great joy in their
complicity, but they are bent upon being apologists for W. I wouldn't
expect any references or positive feedback from any of them regarding this
experience. The years spent enduring their complicity is the motivational
factor for my wish to relocate. I hope to be able to relocate to an area
free of Gestapo.
In fact, the experience has resulted in nearly a year of being bed ridden on
medication, several years of being a suicidal alcoholic, and being reliant
upon Social Security Disability. The great state of Oklahoma has been
unable to assist me in being retrained for or placed back in the workforce
through their Vocational Rehabilitation program which I have been a client
of for the last 3 years. I do, however, believe that I retain my
eligibility for the Ticket to Work program through Social Security
Disability and I am now sober.
So, I suppose that it boils down to having nothing to reflect on my resume
since 1999 except being 'under surveillance' for George W. Bush's personal
entertainment. Do I list that as my occupation even though it was against
my will with no compensation or do I leave those years blank and give some
sort of brief explanation of the above?
Answer:
-I think "I am crackers" would cover it.I've been going over potential employees this week, and their a
resume/CV on my desk right now that pretty much says just that.
I'm sure the guy is simply trying to catch the eye of a would-be
employer, but basically saying "I'm dead wacky, me!" is a bit much,
even for an artist.
