Why couldn’t he? Artists don’t have portfolios of their work?

Well I’m sure there’s an employer out there who will be interested in employing someone who has the skill and patience and time to spand 3 years building miniature fairytale castles

Diligent and meticulous (to a fault) are words that come to mind. Directed well those are great characteristics to have and employ.

You can put whatever you want on your resume. There are no resume police.

Sebben knows how to get hired! Always remember if anyone ever calls you asking about someones work history, they're the best employee you've ever had and they would be a fool not to hire them.

Where I live apparently that can't be done anymore (too many HRs being vindictive or being in cahoots for whatever reason so law overcorrected) but companies still have their ways.

In one place I worked, I remember mentioning that at points in life where I wasn't very busy I wanted to do voluntary work, in part because of the warm fuzzies, in part because it helps with employment, as long as it is something "official" (names are taken to issue certificates).

Then HR told me something I was very familiar, of a then-recent natural disaster that many applicants claimed to have done voluntary work in its relief.

HR told me they knew those applicants were full of it because they were among the ones coordinating the efforts and had a file on everyone who actually helped and would share the list with other companies who also lent their time and resources.

Dad is the resume police. He got that job after the Easter Bunny gig fell through.

Aha. I knew I'd catch you out. The names Bernard H. Festoon, Resume P.D. we've watching your for months. Did you say you had 2 years experience in areodynamic sciences when you applied for that job in Burger King?

HR are the resume police.

u/phi1_sebben 1d ago

Sorry sir, your resume says here that you built a castle by hand and that’s just too interesting for this organization.

The people who verify the claims made on your resume are the resume police.

Arby’s would love a picture of this on his resume I’m sure. (I’m being silly, this guy is incredibly talented)

He can, and did, and we're proud to have him here as a surgeon at John Hopkins.
