My resume

So, let's see your resume. Well, my first job was with the phone company. A customer service representative. It paid $65 a week. I had to show my check to my father because he didn't believe I was making that much money. I worked a lot on collections, which I enjoyed, investigating phone logs to trace errant college students. Of course then there was the one that led to the father of a student with a bill of around $250. A lot of money at that time. Almost my salary for a month. He wanted to know how I got the number and I flippantly replied that this was the phone company after all. I was relaying the story to my father and he quietly informed me that the aformentioned father was one of the heads of the Mafia. My father always was a good storyteller and I was under the false impression that he was being funny and just didn't want me to get too carried away with this job. Later, when the father's picture was in the paper, I conjured up all these scenarios of how the Mafia was going to get rid of me for good. Time went by, and obviously no one came to get me in the dead of night. So much for my first job!
