Alternative CVs

I may have worked in places as diverse as Jakarta, Khao Ping Kan, New Orleans and Sydney... and been an actor, stunt double and backing singer (yes, really), but does it count for anything on my CV? Nope. A CV is a cold, boring look at a person’s life, and I’ve often said a person’s job is the least interesting thing about them (well, hopefully it is, otherwise you’re in trouble). Adult Fulfillment Assistant was probably my favourite job title (but certainly not my favourite job)... I’ll leave you guessing. Here are three ‘alternative’ CVs – a mock Victorian poster; a pastiche of XTC’s Go 2 album and a mock classifieds ad – I did some years ago, but of course never sent out. I quite like them. Maybe I should have.
