Resume!


I was touching up my labor activism resume, and under languages I put “basic phrases” for both Polish and Spanish.

As I was finishing that up at the university library, the one Spanish lit prof who I’m friends with and who tolerates my attempts to speak Spanish was there, so I showed him my resume.

“Maybe you should list the phrases,” he was like.

I thought that was funny, but I couldn’t quite figure out if he said that because I know so few Spanish phrases that I could put them on a resume, or because the phrases I know are not the sort of things that are useful in a labor activism context, if you know what I mean.
