Occupation

I was an Industrial Mechanic. Before that I worked in a Plating Shop of an electronics factory.
Now I'm not working, partly because I do not want or need to work and no one will hire me anyway.

What are my chances of you making me a S&W 3rd Gen 1006?

Mike, when submitting your resume to Lee, play that up as, "highly experienced."

Several years ago, in my younger days, I applied for a promotion to shift commander. That was after my much younger days when I spent too much time writing incident reports. And after my intermediate younger days when I had been a fill in supervisor.

One of the upper level bosses asked me about my qualifications for the job. I replied with the standard "I've held a number of different positions with the department ..." and then paused and added, "As you know, I'm intimately familiar with ALL aspects of the discipline and appeal process."

The interview panel thought that was humorous, but they still didn't offer me the promotion.

They blew it. Your response demonstrated quick wit and the ever famous think outside the box approach. I would have promoted you without any reservations.
