Cartwheels on Your Resume MAG
February 10, 2010
You can't put cartwheels on your resume
They do not care how well you play
Capture the flag
Or that you can climb the old oak tree
With just one hand and two bare feet
And your eyes closed
You cannot ride your rocket ship
To an interview or internship
You're supposed to take the bus
You oughtn't run, you have to walk
Do be quiet, you mustn't talk
Too loudly
So many rules and regulations
Dates and times and obligations
And no one seems to notice
You are too young to grow up.

This is so original that I love it! The title is perfect. People always stress to boast about what you can do, but it seems that cartwheels don't count :(
