Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for July 13, 2023

Not if it’s your greatest achievement.

Nobody would believe that high score anyway.

When my sons were young, their orthodontist had a free video game in the waiting room. Each week they’d clear the highest score. A few times my son would tell me that he got the high score for the week. My reply? “I’m proud of you son!” We all laughed together cause they knew that achievement doesn’t go very far.

Yeah, probably.

Tetris for me!

Not if you’re applying at a gaming company.

Depends on what else you got on there.

I’d take off that part about potty training, too. Your resume only has to go back so far.

Proof you needed a job long ago…..oy

Yes, since the Boss would probably laugh at such a low high score.

Change it to ‘extensive experience with digital media’.

Probably.

I’d emphasise it.

No, many of your Bro’s will be impressed. And get a couple of neck tattoos.

If you intend on landing the job, then Nintend-No.

Yes – PLEASE! And don’t include things like going to the gym! I can’t count how many resumes I’ve tossed when I come across comments like those!

I never understood it. As a teenager looking for my first real job, I listed the paper routes I had in the past. Never got a job offer. I stopped listing the paper routes, and had three offers in two weeks.

Sadly many are as clueless as this
