What Would Happen If I Wrote An Honest CV/Resumé

Aug 12, 2008 06:28

Name: Everyone calls me Derek. I go by the name Derek Des Anges. Normally I wouldn't tell you this, and in fact the only reason I haven't had my name changed legally is I don't want potential employers searching for me online and finding all that gay, incestuous, occasionally hebephilic, kinky, weird porn I write.

Education: I scraped a weird set of GCSEs by being pandered to entirely by my school, ditto A-Levels, and I have the world's most useless degree which I put approximately no effort into.

Skills: Absolutely fucking none. I cannot even make a cup of tea properly.
