Have you ever put something wild on an job application form?

The worst I did was use some onomatopoeia ([edit] sorry not onomatopoeia, alliteration.) I said I was "polite, peaceful" and something else beginning with P, I can't remember. But I got the temp job in the end.

I haven't personally but i have seen it. When i was a supervisor someone wrote on their application under Education, The School of Hard Knocks.

Although I will never use them, I added the qualifications I got from the night classes at college: Stain Glass window making, Teddy Bear making, Confined Space & Safety. Boatswain Course competency.

P unctual? 🤭
P ersonable?

Just so you didn't put P retty. 🤣

Congratulations on your new job!

You made the application stand out, so that was good and evidently efficiently effective.

(@hunkalove has already given you the English lesson. 😀)

They probably felt sorry for you. That's alliteration. Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like what it means, like "bang."
