Alternative CVs
I may have worked in places as diverse as Jakarta, Khao Ping Kan, New Orleans and Sydney... and been an actor, stunt double and backing singer (yes, really), but does it count for anything? Nope. A CV is a cold, boring look at a person's life, and I've often said a person's job is the least interesting thing about them (well, hopefully it is, otherwise you're in trouble). Adult Fulfillment Assistant was probably my favourite job title (but certainly not my favourite job)... I'll leave you guessing. Here are three 'alternative' CVs – mock Victorian poster; a pastiche of XTC's Go 2 album and a mock classifieds ad – I did some years ago, but of course never sent out. I quite like them. Maybe I should have.

I've been there many times, and it's not always degrading - just often. And the bullshit you have to wade through to even get as far as an interview... pic.twitter.com/TFQBLBplTB
Yes, that example could probably be worded better. Never knew you Tweeted!
I occasionally tweet. Sometimes I whistle. It's all part of life's rich tapestry, innit.
