I can honestly say that I have never doctored a resume’ for myself. Of course, I have never actually given anyone a resume’ to get a job. I have filled out applications, I have had job interviews and I have had people stop me and on my current job and offer me jobs. Resume’s were not a common thing back in my younger days. I do imagine that there are a lot of people who really dress up their resume’s and I have actually helped a few young people describe their work duties in a creative manor without telling a lie.
Here are a few examples:
Educational Logistics – School Bus Driver
Environmental Beautification with State Institution- Picked up trash on the side of the highway while on a prison work release program.
These are just a couple and I could think of dozens more but I would rather have dozens of comments so give it a go in the comment section…remember this is a G rated comic so keep it extra clean.

I always told the truth on resumes and applications. For example, I graduated 12th in my college class ! Impressive, eh? There is no reason to include that is was a special summer school session. There were 12 of us.

That is what I mean. You can tell the truth. You just don’t have to supply the unnecessary details.

Communication Officers are vital to burger joints. I especially like your description of a school bus driver

The bus drivers are important too.

I usually really put my creative writing skills to work then. Thankfully I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

It is classy to add the title engineer to anything. I think it should be reserved for people who drive trains.

Quality Control Clerk AKA Bag lady at the cleaners…..

Yep, that helps the quality. Quality Control could mean a lot of things…like keeping the flies and gnats off the salad bar.
