How to jazz up an unimpressive resume'

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Let’s say you’re wanting to produce a resume’ that will get you a high-paying, low-pressure, cushy job with a window office, your own computer, keys to the restroom of your persuasion and a personal parking spot.

Only trouble is, you never really had any work experience beyond minimum-wage or backbreaking jobs.

How do you rephrase what you did so that it sounds more “impotent” to “da man” when you get it down on paper?

We need names for these less-than-graduate-school-required occupations:

Burger flipper
Grocery bagger
Changer of tires/oil/wiper fluid
Paper boy/girl
Delivery driver for pizza or other fast food service
Greeter at Wal-Mart or similar emporium
Yardboy
Poolboy
Carhop
Hooters mannequin

Please note that the intent here is not to denigrate one’s employment. Rather it is to elevate the sound of the employment to the point of allowing it to qualify one for that corner office.

If you feel your job is in the community of the ones listed, or if you can think of others ways to make a living that don’t sound all that impressive, by all means identify what it is and then “jazz up” its name.

When I used to do job searches, now and then I’d turn up a position for a “vacuum engineer”. I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek title for a janitor, but it turns out there really is such a professional as a vacuum engineer.

Odd that my first impression would be someone involved with chrome on bumper hitch or golf ball and garden hose. But that’s just me, perhaps.
