So, I'm a dork and was actually reading the Terms of Use agreement for a scholarship website I was making an account for. Lame, I know. But I'm just a tad bit paranoid. What if they send my information to every college and/or spammer ever? I could never check my e-mail again. Anyway, I was reading the part that tells you what is inappropriate to do on their site and I came across this little gem:
"You agree that you will not...Create a resume that purports to represent anyone that is not you. Examples of inappropriate and prohibited resumes include, but are not limited to, resumes that purport to represent an animal, place, inanimate object, fictional character or real individual that is not you."
Oh, dash it all. The next time I want to create a resume representing an inanimate object, I guess I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way on Microsoft Word. What‽ What sort of bizarre set of circumstances would drive that to be written into the Terms of Use? Has someone actually tried that? If so, to what end? Instead, I like to think that the lawyers these people hired to write this thing wrote it in because they were super bored and/or hated the people they were working for. I like this theory because it proves that the website creators didn't even read the agreement that everyone has to pretend they have read to get an account.
As a side note, I will give a very high high five to the first person to come up with a resume for my three inch high heels. (Skills and Abilities: Inhibiting walking, breaking ankles, causing blisters. Position I am applying for: Instrument of Torture.) The possibilities are endless.
