Hyperbolic Resume

Hyperbolic Resume

His job skills as he stated them matched their needs precisely.
His margins were perfection and his tabs lined up most nicely.

But proper punctuation and perfection in his diction
were used to cover up a resume I fear was fiction.

Those career skills where he claimed himself to be exceptional
were proven once they hired him to simply be conceptional.

 

The prompt today was exceptional.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
