this is too funny. i just started grad school, 5 years after undergrad and 3 babies later … and no formal ‘job’ of any kind and had to send in a resume with my application. the first thing on there was ‘stay at home mom’ and my first task or duty was ‘keep three tiny people alive’. the admissions committee ate it up!

This is really a pretty accurate description of my life right now. I have not needed a resume for the last decade, but now my kids are older I am trying to expand my range in the marketplace. I would love to have the cheek to attach this as a cover letter! It might get a chuckle but I may also relegate myself to the unemployed.

Orienteering: can quickly dodge and navigate around slow walkers, texters, short-stoppers, three-abreasters, and tourists on a New York sidewalk.

This comic is a little disappointing! You can be both funny and adult in your humor- this makes an applicant seem like a child who cares about nothing other than giggling with girlfriends and painting nails! How about instead of changing your opinion you put in ” Able to use intelligence and charm to change people’s opinions in minutes”. I mean, we aren’t children here! Give us STRONG women some credit!

I am constantly telling people how good I am at board games and how I wish I could somehow translate that into a real life skill. So I’d have to add:

Thinks outside the box: can accurately and quickly see a mermaid in the barely-molded lump of clay during a game of Cranium.
