Writing your resume on Sodium Pentothal

By Shally Steckerl

My good friend and "Chief Encouragement Officer" Vincent Wright wrote this up on MLPF and it was so funny I just had to share it with everyone!

By the way, you should join Vince's MyLinkedInPowerForum group on LinkedIn:

By Vince:

Wouldn't you just LOVE to be able to tell the complete truth about your work history, education, volunteer work, etc?

Wouldn't it be so cool if you could just experience the full joys of writing your resume under the influence of a good shot of Sodium Pentothal (Sodium thiopental) and at last would be able to truthfully say something like:
