pile of 100 cvs...
they get to yours...
blah blah GCSEs...blah blah A-Levels... blah blah HE DOES FIREBREATHING! blah blah...

5hrs later at the end of the pile, a small panel of company execs are sitting round a table...

Exec 1 - "So who should we invite for an interview?"

Exec 2 - "Dunno they are all the fkn same, I hate recruiting, its so fkn hard!!"

Exec 3 - "How about that guy who did firebreathing & paintball... what was his name?"

Exec 2 - "yeah good one, what was hs name again?"

Exec 1 - (leafing thru the pile of CVs) "here he is... Quackingplums, thats a funny name.... hell we'll give him a call for an interview anyway!"

Quackingplums - (suddnely his phone rings) "Hello?..."

Exec 1 - (Via Phone) Hi this is Exec 1 from ****ing Big Wage Paying Bank Company, we would like you to come in for an interview"

Quackingplums - YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!, now I can afford that Timmy I've always wanted!!

See!

i think the only situation this will help is the circus and the army


but..........i do like your logic
so you liked my little screenplay then :) you have to admit tho, if you put firebreathing on your CV it would make you stand out from the crowd a bit. (apart from the fact that its fkn cool in its own right!)

I don't know what a timmy is, but sounds like I want one... :D

Actually, but that logic, if you're applying for the army they'll probably looking for the opposite:

"Hmm, I can't decide cos they all like wargames and killing people"

"well how about that guy who enjoys reading, cooking and going to the cinema? he sounds different..." :D
