* "I demand a salary commiserate with my extensive experience."
* "I have lurnt Word Perfect 6.0, computor and spreadsheat progroms."
* "Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year."
* "Reason for leaving last job: maturity leave."
* "Wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial institutions."
* "Failed bar exam with relatively high grades."
* "It's best for employers that I not work with people."
* "Let's meet, so you can 'ooh' and 'aah' over my experience."
* "You will want me to be Head Honcho in no time."
* "Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details."
* "I was working for my mom until she decided to move."
* "Marital status: single. Unmarried. Unengaged. Uninvolved. No commitments."

* "I have become completely paranoid, trusting completely no one and absolutely nothing."
* "My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I possess no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage."
