My Resume Will Thank Me For This

The other day I was minding my own business at work when two of the corporate managers called me outside. I was convinced that I would be fired. Instead, I was promoted to assistant manager.

Promoted? I started working here three months ago. My first thought was, "really?" and my second thought was, "my resume will thank me for this."

Now when people ask me what I'm doing with that prestigious degree of mine, at least I have some credibility. And, when I eventually apply for my next job, the subtext of my resume will now read something like "fell into a random job and received instant promotion because of insanely good work ethic and intelligence" as opposed to "another college grad that could have made something of herself but is instead paying the price for graduating in a bad economy with a useless major."

Ladies and Gents, I'm moving up in the world.
