The Nihilist's Job Resume
On April 6, 2006 by Jamie Madigan
Some early weekend humor for you: The Nihilist's Job Resume. If you don't know what Nihilism is and thus don't get the joke, skim this first.
My favorite parts:
And they say Nietzsche-related humor as applied to selection systems is dead...Objective
I have no objective. What's the point when cold death is the final destination for us all? Can you explain that to me? I know I'm supposed to put something here, though, so here goes: Your objective is to hire me into a challenging position in a computer-applications-based field within which you feel I can "make a difference" and "contribute" in a team environment.
Imbecile.
Education
Bachelor of "Science" in Computer Applications, University of Washington
B.S., all right. It tickles me greatly that vapid, hornswoggled employers place so much emphasis on scholastic aptitude and higher education, as if knowing the Pythagorean theorem could shield me from the stygian pointlessness of mortality or the lurid abyss of imminent nonexistence. Of course, I use the word "tickles" figuratively, since I feel absolutely nothing.
