Operation Resume Storm

Named after 1991's Operation Desert Storm, the invasion of Iraq during the First Gulf War. Refers to a job seeker's decision, especially during a recession year, to print off and mail out dozens or hundreds of resumes in hopes that some employer will offer him an interview. Usually unsuccessful.

Graduation's only a few months away and if I don't get a job I'll have to move back home. It's about time to mount Operation Resume Storm!

John just finished his Master's Degree and now employers are saying he's overqualified. He already had an Associates and a Bachelors and still can't find a job! The only things he's receiving are 3rd Degree Resume BURNS!

The Resume Effect

The act of learning how to do something because it will look cool, or because it will sound good if you say you can do it.

The reason I learned to play guitar and solve a Rubik's Cube is because of the Resume Effect

Your video will resume in _ seconds

No, it won't --- YouTube is gonna play at least one more ad before letting you watch your show again.

Now dat Fletcher Reede cannot actively tell fibs anymore, perhaps he can at least partially slake his "forked tongue" cravings by taking a job cueing up da product/political ads for YouTube videos --- since he would merely be playing da ads themselves but letting someone else do da inserting of da "Your video will resume in _ seconds" messages, said second computer-stiff will actually be doing da lying during da programs.

Resume Fodder

Resume fodder is a bullshit job that you are aware is bullshit, but you only work there for a short period of time to use it later on as a reference. By working there for only a month and then quitting, you can stack up your resume and theoretically speedrun the corporate ladder. Think of it as gun game in Call of Duty but for jobs.

Yeah I got hired at TGI Fridays as a line cook. I'm only gonna be there till I line up something slightly better this job sucks it's nothing but resume fodder
