People Reveal The One Thing They Wish They Could Put On Their Resume But Can't

Our resumes can be an asset to separate us from the competition - but if we really want to stand out, why not include unique personal accomplishments? Beat a tough video game? Add it. Turned in a lost item to its owner even though you wanted to keep it? Throw it on there. Are you funny? Make your interviewer laugh, it can't hurt, right?
Shore20 asked professionals of Reddit: What's one thing you're deeply proud of — but would never put on your résumé?

Petty Warcraft revenge.
In World of Warcraft I was attempting to kill this elite rare spawn. It was reasonably difficult to do solo and would take several minutes to get done. While I was about 3/4 the way through killing it, three other players showed up, killed me, and stole the rare spawn kill. A little bit later, the rare spawn was up again and I saw those same three people killing it. I ran in and killed all three of them and stole my rare spawn kill back from them, ending the whole ordeal with just a few percent of my health left. It didn't drop anything great, but it was so satisfying.
Is there a slot for honesty?
Once in elementary school, lunch was ending and I found a perfect condition Blue Eyes White Dragon on the ground. Hellll yeah. I picked that sh*t up and walked towards my class as rain was beginning to fall.
Thats when I turn the corner to see a kid panicking and crying, running around feverishly. I asked him what was wrong and he said he lost his Blue Eyes White Dragon... It took a lot of willpower to give it up (my parents couldnt afford to buy me booster packs or anything), but I did give it back to him then and there. I look back on it fondly now, it helps when I feel like a waste of air.
It's what Yugi would have done
You're not a waste of air, my dude.
I can barely clip my cats' nails but okay.
I got a call from a friend who also raised goats, she had a 5 month old who had a bum leg and the older kids were picking on her. I picked her up, but it was the start of a long weekend and every vet was closed for the next several days.
Turns out, she had broken her hind leg, about 3" above her ankle. Clean break, no broken skin.
I set it, then splinted it with a soda bottle cut so it would roll on itself. Wrapped it in vet wrap, planning to stabalize it through the weekend.
Couldnt get an appointment until a week later, where an xray showed that the leg was healing perfectly.
I feel like you could use that for a "how do you respond during stress" or "a time you've gone above and beyond" type interview question.
Lettuce discuss your qualifications.
Ate a whole head of iceberg lettuce in under 11 minutes. Most of my friends didn't even finish but I'm the Lettuce King.
There actually is a lettuce club at my University where during each annual meeting there's a competition to see who can eat a head of lettuce the fastest. Whoever wins is crowned the lettuce king.
Edit: Apparently there are many other universities that do this.shortsonapanda
"Lettuce hold a meeting next year."
Now, lettuce pray.
That's a lot of blood.
I've donated over 10 gallons of blood to the Red Cross. I actually had it on my resume for a while but some people get really weird about it.
Depends whether or not it was your blood
You donate one pint, you're a hero. You donate 10 gallons and everybody starts asking whose blood this is.
Geometry was the devil.
Not sure if this belongs here, but I'm real proud of an accomplishment I had in 10th grade (a little over a decade ago, now). I was taking a regular Geometry class and we were given our mid-term. I got through it quickly, but there was a bonus question on the back. I'm not sure how much it was worth, but the question was basically this:
Here's an extremely abstract object. Find its area. Oh yeah, not telling you the length of any of its sides. Have fun.
I spent about an hour on this one question. Now mind you, it was multiple choice, so I could've guessed and had a 25% chance. But nah, I wanted to crack it! So I brought out my ruler, drew dotted lines, etc, and got to the answer.
When the teacher gave back out tests, he asked those who got the bonus question right to raise their hands. He then asked those who actually worked out the problem to keep their hands raised, and the rest were to lower theirs. I was the only one who still had their hand raised.
Teacher: "I gave this question to all of my classes, including my Honors students. Out of them all, dmxell is the only one who correctly worked out the problem. Dmxell, can you please come to the board and show everyone how to do it."
After I copied my work to the board, my teacher followed up with: "He's right."
Boom. This made my school year. But obviously I'd never put it on a resume, lol.
I was on the math team in high school. The first meet, I took the geometry test. There was this triangle, with criss-cross lines that were all congruent. I had to find the measure of angle a.
I took my pencil, and turned it around on the paper following the lines. I counted 7 angles, and the pencil ended turned around (180 degrees). My answer was 25.714 degrees.
At the end of the tests, we could take our scratch paper with (everyone took the tests asy the same time, so cheating wasn't an issue). My classmates saw my paper and laughed in my face. I was the only one (150 people) who got it right.
Edit: the problem: https://imgur.com/gallery/L8sx8EF
AB=BC=CD=DE=EF=FG=AG (technically congruent, but can't symbol that properly) Find the measure of angle A.
Definitely worth putting on a resume.
I'm fantastic at making balloon animals. I've got no good reason to be good at it.
It would look great on your resume if you were to work as a child entertainer.
Unfortunately I'm an aspiring software engineer so I don't think it'll make the cut for a while. Maybe some day for sh*ts I'll toss "is able to make a balloon bicycle" on my CV.
Actually, this is quite a feat.
I have over 11 1/2 years clean and sober. It's a good thing but I'm not telling potential employers about it.
Congrats! I'm 11 years sober myself. It is quite the accomplishment!
Worth it.
I ate 6 bowls of pasta at the pasta deathmatch challenge AKA the Olive Garden never ending pasta bowl.
Congratulations! Your award is indigestion!
I didn't poo for almost three days.
There's a story.
I was once called "inconsiderate" by a serial killer.
You can't leave us hanging like that -story time.
Back in 2008, I was a news photographer for a local CBS station. We were doing a story on a lady known regionally as "The Black Widow" - every husband she'd ever had mysteriously wound up dead, and she'd collected some 3 or 4 massive life insurance payouts over the course of her life. She had finally been caught and was appearing before an official in the local prison - it was some kind of small hearing in a tiny room, but I don't know the exact details. I had my camera on her with the top light turned on, and she kept putting her hand up in front of her face to block my shot. I'd turn it off, she'd put it down. Turn it back on, hand went up. I soon realized we're not going to have a single usable shot of this lady in our story that evening because the hearing was going to be over in no time, so I turned the camera on to record her, but shut the top light off. This made the shot a bit darker than I wanted, but it fooled her - she put her hand down and I got plenty of video of her. But not before she looked right in my camera lens, gave me a glare, and said, "You are very inconsiderate." Part of me wanted to ask her where "video taping a criminal" fell on the scale relative to "murdering a bunch of husbands," but I held my tongue.
Scientists Have Developed A New 'Planetary Health Diet' That Could Literally Save Lives And The Planet At The Same Time

In an attempt to help curb worldwide issues such as climate change, and malnutrition in poverty stricken areas, a joint commission by EAT, a non-profit seeking to transform the global food system, and The Lancet, an old and respected medical journal, has released a recommended guideline for dietary and planetary health.
The report recommends cutting back meat consumption to at most, a burger patty or equivalent a week, and supplementing your protein intake with nuts, legumes, and beans. An increase in veggies and fruits would make up the bulk of your meal plate.
The dietary guideline was established by a coalition of over 30 scientists, researchers, and doctors designed not just with human nutrition in mind, but also sustainability. With estimations that the planet will reach 10 billion people by 2050, scientists are working to figure out how to feed them all.
Additionally, the red meat industry has for a long time, been known to be a contributor to greenhouse gasses, while land conversion for food production is the greatest factor in biodiversity loss. The report from the EAT-Lance commission estimates that through nutrition and agricultural changes from this diet, we can save 11 million lives every year.
That sounds pretty great.
The EAT-Lancet commission lists very specific macronutrient ranges for their proposed diet, from 300g of veggies per day, to only 7g for red meats. However, it's this specificity that is drawing criticism.
John Ioannidis, the chair of disease prevention at Stanford university has praised the growing attention to how diets can affect the environment, but states the commission doesn't represent the scientific uncertainty between health and nutrition.
Dr. Georgia Ede, who writes for the site Diagnosis: Diet, took issue with the report's specific recommendations. Dr. Ede's website makes the case for low carb and paleolithic diets.
She points out the commission says,
"We have a high level of scientific certainty about the overall direction and magnitude of associations described in this Commission, although considerable uncertainty exists around detailed quantifications."
And yet, they recommend 0 to 58g per day of poultry, with a 29g midpoint. This seems very specific.
People are not willing to give up meat so easily.
Still, the report is a good starting point for the discussion we need to have about food's connection to not just our health, but the planet's well-being.
As Dr. Howard Frumklin, head of the Wellcome Trust which helped found the EAT foundation says himself,
"The links among diet, health and the environment are well-documented, but, until now, the challenge of attaining healthy diets from a sustainable food system has been hampered by a lack of science-based guidelines.
"While this report does not have all the answers, it provides governments, producers and individuals with an evidence-based starting point to work together to transform our food systems and cultures."
What should be a discussion is turning into an argument.
If we're going to be able to feed everyone, ensure their diet is nutritionally balanced, and try to curb climate change, it's important that people start talking about the positives and negatives of their current diet. The report provides a sense of context to which people can compare and share their ideas and study.
'Captain Marvel' May Have Just Introduced A New Black Female Superhero Right Under Our Noses

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.
Nothing is a coincidence in the complex Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now that Marvel Studios and Disney finally gave a female superhero her own movie, we realize Captain Marvel may have introduced a young character who takes on a more significant role in the future of the MCU.
The '90s-set origin story is led by the dual personalities of Carol Danvers — a U.S. Air Force pilot; and Vers, a Kree from the planet Hala in another life — and becomes Captain Marvel, expertly played by Brie Larson.
Without sounding too cryptic, Captain Marvel is the sum of Carol and Vers, and the complex narrative revolves around Vers finding out about her past.
Captain Marvel introduces us to a varied ensemble of personalities, including a young Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, with whom she teams to fight off shape-shifting aliens called skrulls.
Instead of relying on a male love interest, Danvers has a best friend in Maria Rambeau, played by Lashana Lynch, giving the genre a refreshing feminist twist on the buddy action flick.
But it's Maria Rambeau's daughter Monica (Akira Akbar) who is making ardent fans giddy with anticipation about the character's future.
the future is beautiful and your name is monica rambeau https://t.co/HtNuXrWaZL— captain carol ︽✵︽ (@captain carol ︽✵︽) 1551819911.0
The precocious 11-year-old is, for all intents and purposes, just an adorable, "normal" kid who has ambitions of flying in the Air Force to emulate "Auntie Carol."
Monica's bravery belies her age as she encourages her mother to flee into space at the risk of never seeing her again for a mission involving the skrulls.
But there is more to her intelligence and inherent altruism, and those familiar with the comics are aware of her exciting destiny.
Refinery 29 revealed that the adult Monica Rambeau is just another iteration of Captain Marvel, and she is expected to come into prominence during the supposed 24-year time gap between Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame.

Monica's origin story includes being a lieutenant in the New Orleans harbor patrol who comes into contact with "extra-dimensional energy" while preventing the creation of a powerful weapon.
As a result, she is able to manipulate, absorb and create energy.

People Are Roasting Trump Over His Mind-Numbing Observation About The Wetness Of Water 😂
Donald Trump thanked the first responders who came to the aid of victims of Hurricane Florence. The storm devastated portions of North Carolina, dumping massive amounts of rain and damaging millions of dollars in property. Many natural areas were destroyed, some farmers lost everything and more than a few people have been left homeless. The first responders after this massive storm were literal life savers, and Trump was absolutely right to thank them. Unfortunately, the sentiment of his message was lost for many people because he didn't seem to put any effort or preparation into what he was saying. Then, in the middle of his off-the-cuff message, he confused everyone by talking about the wetness of water.
As Trump described the storm and the importance of first responders he told the world:
This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water. Rarely have we had an experience like it and it certainly is not good.
The Tweet went out in the middle of the day on Tuesday, September 18th. At the time of this article, it hasn't even been up for 24 hours and already has over 13,000 comments. Many of them pointed out how Trump didn't even seem to try...
and how asinine his description was.
We don't know if Trump will continue to address the public by releasing these kinds of videos, or if they will continue to be as unrehearsed as this one is. We assure you, if they are, Twitter will have plenty to say about it.

Kenan Thompson Just Hit The Ice With Other 'Mighty Ducks' Cast Members, And The Nostalgia Is Real Y'all 😍
A mini-reunion took place over the weekend, as actors from the Mighty Ducks film series met up at an ice rink in upstate New York. Afterwards, they attended an Anaheim Duck's game.
The nostalgia-fest started with Danny Tamberelli, who played Tommy Duncan in the first film, posting photos of the group to his Instagram.
They wore recreations of the bright green jerseys the team wore in the movie.
Watching them, you can almost hear the whine of your old VHS player.

The group got to watch a game the actual sports team started because of the popularity of their movie, played on Sunday against the New York Islanders.
The original film starred Emilio Estevez as Gordon Bombay, a lawyer charged with drunk driving, who has to perform 500 hours of community service. Because of his background as a child hockey star, Bombay is ordered to coach a peewee hockey team. While initially reluctant, he guides the misfits to victory.
Danny Tamberelli, Garette Ratliff Henson, and Vincent LaRusso starred in the first film, while Kenan Thompson and Colombe Jaconsen-Derstine were in the second.
It's unknown at this time why the group reunited, though some are speculating for a Superbowl commercial.
But we have to ask the real questions here.
