Dear Almighty Editor,
Hello. my name is Rex G Margate, (650) 302 – 4461. My Mailing Address is 84 Delong Street, 94112, San Francisco
I am a 22 year old young male whom obsesses a good forty to fifty percent of their often monotonous days off playing games, Online Shooters, mmorpgs with friends, hell, even the occasional casual release shareware from such an unknown developer it shouldn’t be referred to as third party, much more like damned fourth party. Thinking back, I’ve had quite a bit of nostalgic experience; I believe a person should know more about the history on computer gaming as much as they know about their job role.
-If you’re looking for a resume with less ego boosting ranting, stop here.
If you’re reading still, Holy crap thank you. Most likely I’m going to push the fact I’m going to heavily compensate over me having experience being a more-than-average gamer over being some fancy bigshot writer that the New Yorker would hire faster you can say Abysmal-and-extreme-dislike
When I’m not at my miserable warehouse job, assembling plaque for jerks who probably don’t deserve them, trophies for children who probably run up and down the soccer field like meth addicts scrounging money for a hit; see a twenty dollar bill on the grass, unknowingly aware of the fishhook protruding out of the bill, and the bold asshole who decided to play human fishing because he lost a bet- I’m often speaking with my fellow gaming brethren, casual gamers, loyal and hardcore; all archetypes of the cyberpunk beatnik culture that is the gamer. Such arguments, conversations and preachings of biased makeshift reviews; If only this crap was caught on paper. I believe my crazy speeding mind which bounds from witnessing the world I see before me is going to waste in my current occupation. I hate to sound like I’m full of myself, but I believe my brain tells me I have more to do in life. I want to write; I want to live; I want to play the game.
I don’t have much experience on writing; nor a corporate job. What I do know I have is a love for games, drawing, meta cognitive thinking and the blatant expressionistic writing I hope to bring to your company. This isn’t your run of the mill traditional resume, but this isn’t your traditional job. Still, I’ll post what I’ve done in the past for a living.
L&L Daly City – 3 months, let go because I was caught playing Zelda: The Minish Cap; (when it was DEAD quiet in the night, too.)
South San Francisco Albertsons, Now Lucky Store – Left due to me not caring about such backbreaking labor & jerks who bitched about me wanting to join their money grubbing union.
Right now I currently work at an online based awards and engraving company; 123-awards.com. It too is in South San Francisco and I’ve been there for 3 years now. It is the closest thing I’ve come to being happy in a semi-casual job, but lately the management is going through some major overhauling; ruining the family feel I once loved of such a friendly workspace.
I’m a high school graduate, with minor college, courses on art and some creative writing. I’ve been playing games since I was five or six, From Super Mario 3 to Halo 3, I’ve played all sorts of type/niche of games I like to describe from 2D platformer Contra, point and click, The Longest Journey, Obscure cartoony shooter Team Fortress 2 , role playing Ragnarok to Stratagy Starcraft. I’m not saying I’ve done it all, but I’m willingly open to work with plenty of new material. Wholeheartingly wishing; I applied for this job, thinking landing such a kickass role in any, ANY writing role you may have, hell; I’ll even draw on napkins for a few dollars- Would be so life changing. I would be applying myself to something I love.
I hope by now you still have no idea on how I have no CLUE on how to write a resume; but I wittingly try to compensate my complete lack of professionalism with a freaking personality. Thank you and Good night.
