Reason for leaving: did you not notice the first bullet point in this section?

Wesley gave up on the mental drafting of his resumé. It wasn’t terribly likely it would be useful.

Better to go get drunk instead.

And sing. Singing would help. The Host would know what to do.

He'd be pushed to get a McJob with that lot. Poor thing.

LOL! Very clever!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks!

[crayonbreakygal.livejournal.com]

Hilarious. I like what you did.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[deird1]

Love it.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Sometimes, it's good to be silly.

What a wonderful way to get into Wesely's head. This made me laugh out loud: Reason for leaving: contract terminated due to employer’s increasingly evil nihilism. Wesley's decision to just get drunk and sing makes perfect sense in light of this depressing resume.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's not a pretty picture all laid out like this!

[louise39.livejournal.com]

Wesley's job description would be a little off-putting to some... "Rogue Demon Hunter"!!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Not all that much call for demon hunters, rogue or otherwise.

I absolutely understand Wesley's resume woes. Job hunting is never fun. Perfect ficlet for our times!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Job hunting is horrible (especially when you've just been fired for the second time in 18 months). Poor old Wesley.

Hee! Poor Wesley!

Loved it!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

This makes me wonder who or what would've hired Wesley is he had sent out his resume.

Hehehe! Well done.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

I think Wolfram and Hart might have thought twice - it's not a very efficient record, is it? Wesley went a long way in a short time.

[shapinglight]

Oh, that's great! I especially love his reason for leaving Angel Investigations.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you. It's not a particularly easy CV to put together, in a number of ways...

[duh-i-read.livejournal.com]

Hehe. This is great little story.

At least Wes doesn't have a humanities degree on top of all that.
