Re: Your “chameleon-type social skills”

While going through some old stuff, I found the list of bizarre resume interests/hobbies that I collected during one summer spent sourcing countless resumes. These are real quotes from real resumes submitted by actual people for actual paying jobs.

• Fluent in Tolkien languages
• World of Warcraft Guild Leader
• Avid Fly Fisherman
• Terraforming Mars
• Amateur Hydroponics
• Extra in Bollywood film shoots (this sounds kind of awesome actually)
• Computer Camp attendee
• Have been to 2/3 of China
• Amateur weather forecasting
• Socializing
• Mothers of Twins Club Member
• Developing and using my own stock analysis software
• Social computing
• Chameleon-type social skills
• Live action role playing (New England Interactive Literature)
• Strategy board games

One of the more hilarious outcomes of the Occupy Wall Street Movement: Hipster Cop.

“Detective Rick Lee, Community Relations Detective for Manhattan’s 1st Precinct (or “Hipster Cop” as the world has come to know him) is now a larger then life character because of his unconventional dress and cocky attitude….
