Michelle Pickens' Online Resume

Hey-o!

Paper, paper, and more paper. Dead, white words on dead, white paper. I know. You see tens, hundreds - who knows, maybe even thousands - of resumes a day, and they all say the same exact thing: GPA's, classes, awards, honors, jobs, referrals, pick-mes, I-rocks. We all rock, we all want to get picked, and we all squeeze into our one-page, single-paced, half-inch-margined resumes exactly what you already know, have heard a thousand times before, and frankly don't want to hear any more. They tell you nothing about who we, the applicants, are as human beings. I sympathize. I really do.

In an effort to help you understand who I am beyond what I can squeeze into one page, I have created this online resume. It serves to represent all the smaller pieces of me that a resume can't, didn't, and won't, and to give you a better idea of who I am, where I come from, and what I do.

Thank you for taking the extra initiative to view my web resume. I understand that it is neither required nor necessary, and I appreciate your willingness to take a little extra time out of your day on my behalf. Happy browsing!
