My resumé is all truth nowadays
[quote name="Fussbett"]I was recently turned down for an interview because the prospective employer was concerned about my side businesses being too successful! They wrote me an e-mail just to express that and interrogate me on the matter! I couldn't believe it! All of these exclamation points are justified! Sanitario666: Today I received an e-mail from a prospective employer who asked what I planned to do with my company, since it seems very successful. Do I intend to keep it as a side project? Sanitario666: Apparently I have to start making it look less impressive to not scare away employers Ray of Light: or offer them equity Ray of Light: "it will be more like a merger!" Sanitario666: haha Sanitario666: Yeah, maybe I'll start replying to want ads by offering the person a job. Sanitario666: That's a strong opening position! So now I'm considering removing this tale of success from my resumé. Make me appear more needy, more like a person who will value the job. If someone wants to make a speech about the world rewarding mediocrity, go right ahead![/quote]
