Should I put this on my resume?


Or, for that matter, should you? Don't we owe it all to ourselves to call TIME Magazine on what is quite possibly the lamest "Person of the Year" ever and put it on all of our resumes, business cards, etc.? Would it be unethical? Am I a year and a half too late with this observation (seeing as how we were all TIME's 2006 'Person of the Year')?

Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. :-)
And for this encouraging magazine cover. Though I'm not entirely sure I control my world. I can't even figure out how to use my cell phone.

I remember thinking how I thought that this was the biggest cop out I'd ever seen before when I first saw it. Now, seeing it again, I realize what an even bigger cop out it was. Lame.

But Yes, it should be on your resume.

Hmmm... funny. My professor just recently used this as a profound example of how new media is changing things, and user generated content is cropping up everywhere, and how the internet is allowing everyone to publish what they think, reason, and feel instantaneously forever changing the way we communicate. And we embraced it wholeheartedly, harnessing the information age with the reins of our fingertips on a keyboard. Speaking o' which, you wrote this via a blog, which is doubly re-emphasizing the point of time magazine's cover, as you are fully utilizing the information age to spread your agenda. Although I find it rather amusing how I have been recently shown within weeks about how amazingly apt, and about how apparently lame this cover is.

Although, yes. I think this would be an awesome addendum to any resume. Especially if they had no idea about the cover while interviewing you.

Oh, and you may be wondering who the heck just wrote this extremely long diatribe that really doesn't mean all that much. I will give you a hint: The Moody has spoken.
