I'm filling out a job application, and one of the questions is "Tell us what makes you unique. Try to be creative and say something that will catch our eye!"
Am I wrong in interpreting this as "Make up some outlandish shit about yourself"? I mean, how could something factually accurate be "creative"?
I'm thinking of saying something like "I was born in a dirigible, and can communicate telepathically with creamed corn."
All you put down is "I am very discreet".
Refuse to elaborate if they ask what you mean by that.
Ohhhh... too late. I just finally sent in my application, like, 2 hours ago after alternately struggling with, and willfully neglecting and forgetting about it for 5 days. On the plus side, I am now into season 5 of Smallville. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
I eventually went with what now seems like the obvious choice of talking about that shooting gallery I've been working on for two years; 2 microcontrollers programmed in 2 languages, a sensor array, talking animals, a shit-ton of wires, etc...
