That’s right! The Golden Girls 08 style. Betty White is that chick fo’real. Estelle Getty (aka Sophia) has been sick lately, but she’s still alive. I’m mad at “Dorthy” lookin like Rigor Mortis, but it’s all good ma…do what you do. Blanche is lookin good too.
Ok…now, on with the blog…
Aight…fellas. Which one of the Golden Girls would you hit? ROF! Please…DO NOT ANSWER! *dead* Ok…let me move on. All I got is 15 minutes…(*remembers the song by Marc Nelson*)…(*finds song on youtube*):
ROFLMAO! I swear I didn’t think of this song when I made this site. LOL! That is the new official theme song for this site. (*pause*) Anyways, as promised, I must talk about resumé names before my 15 minutes is up.
Resumé names. First and foremost, I want to thank my mom…wait…actually my brother for naming me Jason. Jason is definitely a resumé name. Other names like Robert, Chris, Joe, John, Kelly, Melissa, etc. are also great resumé names. Now…I don’t know what in the world these parents be on when they name their babies. As cute as it may sound to you, Bonquisha, Shalesha, Shaquanda, Delvonte, Junleekqua, etc. are NOT resumé names. The entire HR department will collectively ball your resumé up and toss that hoe, even if you went to Harvard. Unfortunately people judge books by covers, and HR departments judge candidates by names. If your name has any of the following, you may want to go by a stage name when applying for a job:
- a “q” in the middle of your name
- a “qu” and another vowel together
- a “ke” and another vowel together
- accents in your name where it don’t make sense
- apostrophes in your name
- too many silent letters in your name (i.e. Rheneah…pronounced Renee)
I can’t think of anything else right now. Plus my time is up. Tomorrow, I…I don’t know what I’ma talk about yet. Stay tuned.
LOL! Wow, this song was my ish!!!! Dead at him looking like a damn copper penny with that metallic bronze shirt.
Real talk, my boss and I are always ROFL at the resumes that get sent to us with those names. Half the time I refuse to call them for interviews because I refuse to decipher which vowel is silent, which sound to stress, etc. No thanks.
“I’m mad at “Dorthy” lookin like Rigor Mortis.”
You outta order!!!! *dies*
Oh snap.. not Bonquisha!! I swear my daughter’s friends are going to have the damndest time trying not only to find a decent job, but a mate as well… I know some of her classmates by the name of Tiajaneh (pronounced Tee Ah Janay) and others that I won’t mention for fear their super ghetto card totin mother’s may follow me here *looks around for safety* Okay so I’m going to leave it at that… thanks for the 15 minute giggle for today *looks up at Golden Girls again* DEAD!!
Damn. THIS is why I don’t use my middle name in shit that is not fun (not y’all , y’all alright). The middle name is Shaniqua
. I need a stage name in place of my middle name now. My new name is ….. KELLY !
Naw…Shaniqua is umm…ok, I guess.
I don’t think “The Man” would smile on that name tho.
I have a resume name and I gave my son a resume name…
I do know children (i shit you not) named Alize, Henessy, Dasani and Aquafina
