Hey Team,

Are you crazy kids ready for some Résumé Padding? Here’s the deal: In addition to this little GEitW contest that’s rolling out we’re going to start taking things a step further. You know what? That’s just lazy. Why take things a step further when you can take them THREE steps further?!

Good. That’s settled then. Let’s start over…

Are you crazy kids ready for some Résumé Padding? Here’s the deal: In addition to this little GEitW contest that’s rolling out we’re going to start taking things THREE HUGE STEPS FURTHER. I know what you’re thinking. 1) Who’s this “we” and 2) What are you babbling on about?

It seems I can’t in good conscience run a website that doesn’t provide a startling amount of entertainment relative to how many people are working on it* so, starting next week there will be a new weekly web series on this very site operating under the name…Résumé Padding!

Résumé Padding will be serving a dual purpose of 1) entertaining the masses (that’s you, friends!) and 2) proving once and for all that I am indeed…the Greatest Employee in the World! (Maybe.)

The concept is simple. Each episode will feature me taking on a different local job (Maybe a pizza parlor, a shoeshine stand, a zoo? Who knows?), going over what it takes to do the job well, a little look at training and ending with a grand competition between me and a regular employee for the title of “Greatest Employee in the WORLD!” Sounds fun, right?!

It’s kind of like the web’s answer to Dirty Jobs…but without the dirty…and no one nearly as cool as Mike Rowe…and less of a focus on obscure jobs…and not sponsored by Ford…and done with little to no budget…y’know what, it’s probably more like the web’s answer to Amtrekker.

Here’s where the “we” comes in. Since these episodes don’t have to be super timely I’d LOVE to shoot as many as I can, as quickly as possible and just spread out the editing. Which means, if you own your own business or know of a business that would love to be part of an episode shoot me and email at brett [at] GEitW [dot] com! I’m based in Fresno, CA so the closer to there the better but I am willing to do a little driving. (You know what? There are some pretty good airline deals out there right now…if you’ve got a cool idea for an episode hit me up regardless of your location!)

I’m super pumped about this, gang! Let’s make it happen!

I’m done.



Brett.
