Kim K. broke the internet? Well, Edward Snowden broke the NSA and now the United States' favorite whistleblower is back--this time taking over the twittersphere. As if 140 characters of pure espionage wisdom isn't enough, I've compiled a list of the best job application advice from The True HOOHA
himself.1. The time he taught us to be brutally honest about our qualifications:
“I don’t have a degree of ANY type. I don’t even have a high school diploma.”
2. When he may have stretched the truth about his previous work experience:
Named Dell as his employer?
(A Dell spokesman would not confirm his employment)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. Teaching us that employers really do appreciate everything you list in the "additional skills" section:
“I speak the language of technology”
4. Or like when he emphasized that brevity is key while answering questions:
Q: "What do you think is going to happen to you?"
A: "Nothing good."
No one likes a try hard anyways
5. When he nailed the section asking about his leadership experience, without actually stating any leadership experience:
"You can't wait around for someone else to act. I had been looking for leaders, but I realised that leadership is about being the first to act."
#humblebrag
6. The time he answered the "if you were an animal question":
7. Proving to us common folk that you can never set your career goals too high:
"I could be living in a palace petting a phoenix by now."
The goal is to be memorable people!!
8. Or when it came time to fill out the criminal history section and he did so by beating around the question entirely:
“All I can say right now is the U.S. government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me”
9. And finally, when he taught us that ~confidence is key~ especially when signing off on your application:
“This won't be a waste of your time."
