To me a resume that is outside the norm can be a good thing, in this case it gives me a vivid image of what that person might be like and it is not a person I'd like to be around.
That means the quick fix here is to skip all the "fun" side-tracking and focus on the raw skills you can offer.
The sustainable fix is to figure out why you ever could think this was a good idea in the first place. As my parent poster said the answer to this question might easily also answer to the root cause of a ton of other problems in your life.
Now times of economic distress are not the best time for introspection, but you might wanna address this sooner than later.
- creer 3y agoYes to this. We can be out of the norm - and emphasize that - without being "funny". Funny is a dangerous quick road to "unprofessional". Too risky for a resume. Pretty risky for an interview beyond a small dose and even that better be "safe humor".
- atoav 3y agoThis is especially true if you want to be seen as a person that takes things (like for example a felony conviction) serious.
