| What happens when you post a resume on Facebook?
(part II) My response to the Facebook fellow who thinks my resume is a job posting. I really hope this guys sends me some poetry... ------------------------------------------------ Hello CJ
Thank you for your interest. In order to assess your potential as a Creative/Technical Writer, please send a resume as well as some writing samples. The writing samples should contain some creative writing (poetry or short fiction is acceptable), as well as some examples of your technical writing.
Also, please indicate why you would be the ideal candidate for this position.
Best,
Andrew ------------------------------------------------

| What happens when you post a resume on Facebook?
So I posted a resume to the Facebook Marketplace thingy a year and a half ago. I was trying to market myself as a creative writer with a technical background. As far as I was concerned, the resume was consumed by the giant black hole that is the internet. Not so. Today I received a facebook message from a young man wanting more information on my job posting: "Huh?" I said to myself. hello andrew, i ahve just read your job posting way back in june 15th anyway if there is still a spot available for creative writer, it'd be great if you could get back at me with more info on the job thank you
What should I do? The guy thinks my resume is a job posting. He also seems to believe that his writing skills qualify him for whatever kind of work he thinks I'm offering. Also, in his profile picture, he seems to be holding some large silver candle stick and standing in a martial arts stance as if ready to attack. Should I hire him, or educate him on the many reasons his application will be declined?

| on being old.
I turned old yesterday. When I hit my next decade, I'll be able to tell you all the good things about my current age, but for now it seems like mostly sad news. When you're turning 16 you get to drive. In your 20s you move out and graduate and start a life and stuff. But in your 30s? Well, I think I can look forward to getting a middle-aged man belly, starting to dress a little bit off, and adopting strange middle-aged person words like "skookum" and "snazzy." Ugh. And then there's balding. I really don't like this idea. Maybe I should start looking into "follicle treatments" or "regenerative therapies" or "lasers ointments" or something. Lasers seem like the ultimate sellable item to me because there's a general understanding that they're awesome, but also quite mysterious. For my birthday, Cheryl took a giant folded piece of brown construction paper to my school and had each of my classes sign it (that's 20 different classes). So sweet! The girls drew funny little pictures of us and said things like "happy birthday" and "i love you!" and "handsome!" Some of my favorite comments.... "cut face hair!" "I saw your underwear... I'm very shy!" "I want candy!" "I need you all night." (WHAT?!) Last night a few church kids came over to sing happy birthday and have cake and mini Coronas Cheryl found. MMmmmm Mexican beer & cake! So. I'm old now. And so far, so good. Chubs |

| .:Sounds Like Christmas:.I'm dusting off ye olde blog to share some Christmas spirit! If you're more naturally inclined to grinchiness, like me, you need all the help you can get. I posted my first Christmas mix back in 2006. At the time I felt that it was doubtless the best Christmas mix ever created. Hindesight is 20/20, and looking back at my hind, I've gotta say, I still think it's pretty fantastic. Click the link below to step back in time and get festive.
Take me back to Christmas Mix 2006.
I made another Christmas mix in 2007, but I was too busy being in love and sucking drywall dust to post it. Now that I'm hanging out in Korea with time on my hands... well, we all win. Here's last year's mix. Christmas Mix 2007.zip
