i'm sick of hearing of everyones stellar accomplishments. if your resume said the truth about you, what would it really say?

*disclaimer: this is for FUN. it is not meant to offend anyone. and if it does, don't be a troll/douche, just move on & ignore me.

My 411

Skills:
1. an innovative thinker- always able to find short cuts and ways to do the least amount of work while appearing as if i'm doing a whole lot.
2. quick learner and typer- i have a lot of experience in having to type fast, such as texting multiple people while my professors lecture, and going on AIM
3. great multitasker- i can go on aim, websurf, talk on the phone, listen to music while working on my lab report

Education: Bachelor of Science in Chemistry
University of Washington
(eh, can't really spice this up)

Relevant experience-
1. Volunteer at UW medical center- 400+ clinical hours of talking to patients and playing memory with my fellow volunteers. gained valuable experience in the hospital setting by creating barf-baggies for patients and folding wash cloths. would assist with maintenance and prevent money-waste by eating the in-patient food when close to expiration dates

2. TA for high school physics- sat infront of computer and facebooked/worked on homework assignments while students conducted lab experiments. would sometimes take naps.

3. Lab assistant in synthetic chem lab- would perform very important lab experiments. often slept while waiting for reflux. broke many beakers and test tubes. would use the bunsen burner as often as possible.

4. chemical analyst in analytical chem lab- get paid money to play with chemicals. spend free time reading MSDS to learn how to properly extinguish all the possible fires i could make. broke many seperatory funnels.
 
"to be quite honest i spent the majority of my free time drinking booze and playing video games. but despite my apparent laziness i would make a competent, dedicated, and caring physician. i can't prove it but you'll just have to trust me."


thats what my med school app would have looked like if we were being honest.
 
This sounds like fun, I'll give it a shot.

ACTIVITIES

Physician shadowing - followed a guy around all day and tried really really hard not to yawn.

Clinical volunteer #1 - held babies for 4 hours/week

Clinical volunteer #2 - gossiped with supervisor and occasionally pushed stretchers around

(Dry) lab #1 - sat there and chatted on AIM for 80% of the work day, 10% doing actual work, and 10% eating lunch with a friend
 
I have spent 4 years drinking and partying. The reason for my high grades is because I am a complete kiss ass. Reason for high MCAT- stop drinking for a month and study. I want to be a doctor because I need to fix my liver... Please help me!
 
LOL. hahaha

trying not to yawn and drinking booze 👍 👍

oh the life of a TRUE pre-med
 
Resume speaking: Now I know what this looks like but, yes, I'm absolutely serious.
 
"ifi'macceptedadcomsayswhat"

Foolproof - admission by trickery.
 
community service one- sit at the nurse's station for 4 hours a week staring at the clock and people watching

research position-type up recorded interviews for 6 hours a week, while just sitting there and thinking how much i hate it for 2 hours and pretending to type (unpaid)

doing very minimal school related work/reading until 24 hours before a big test, then launching into a period i like to call showtime. this is a painful period where i sit continuously with minimal food breaks and absolutely no sleeping, and as the 24th hour approaches i finish learning everything and go take the test

spent the weekends drinking and partying and doing other fun things non-premeds are more familiar with..unless of course the weekend falls on my "showtime" period.
 
skills - i can perform thoracotomies on most animals including not limited to deer, roadkill.
can take 2 shots of everclear with tossing
volunteering - firefighter who spent many a night getting smashed prior
emt who didn't give a flying f*** about the patients, but the sirens were fun
education - learned how to utilize combinations of common drugs to lengthen my attention span and appear interested in mendelian genetics while actually zoning to lala land
 
NICE. i was considering going for the MD/PhD in bull****ting as well

I know, it's such a marketable degree to go along with your MD. Residency programs are especially impressed.
 
This is funny because today I was filling out a secondary that asked about my non-academic hobbies. I typed out one legit one... the next two I thought of were watching tv, and going to the bars. I couldn't think of anything else!
 
my skills would include:

-can listen to the first 8 counts of over 6000+ songs and tell you the name of the track
-could sell a mac to anyone that walked into best buy during the fall of 2008
-has plenty of useless information just occupying space in my mind just waiting for medical education to push it all out
-has a very intense and selective tv regiment for the week
-doesn't miss a celtics game on tv or radio
-ranked in the 2000's in NBA 2k9...but thats really the only game i've ever been good at
-and many more useless skills that are used to entertain myself

i wish med schools cared about this stuff. it would make interviews so much more fun and less stressful
 
hahaha..you guys are hilarious..

Microbiology RA - make slants and run tests, my motto "Say Hello to My Little Friends!"
Metallurgical research - got to be the only female among all...spend 5 out of 6 hours to watch these guys work, 1 hour to compliment them...😵
Clinical Volunteer - round on patients see if they need somethings..once in a while bump into some that are so drugged out, they want you to scratch their scrotum...
Tutor - spend 90% time to raise someone's self-esteem, 5% to gossip, 5% to do actual tutoring...

Gawd so true.

"I can't do this"
"yes you can"
"I can't do this"
"let me help you"
"I can't do this"
"shut the **** up and do your ****ing homework"
"okay"
2 minutes later
"wanna hear about what this pregnant girl at my school did?"
"sure"
2 minutes later
"I can't do this"
the homework never gets done.


PS, the cursing and meanness never actually happened, but it makes a good story, right?
