The finger pin could turn out to be a strength in that arena so I'm just offering a few suggestions. I read the Robert Half book on interviews, it said to turn a negative into a positive. That seems like a good idea for general life. Interview: "So, after your work in the Post Office, can you explain the gap in your employment record." "Serving 25-to-life for killing 12 of my co-workers." "So what would be the most negative thing they could say about you?" "One said that I didn't have to shoot everyone. They thought I was too goal-oriented." "Ah, goal-oriented, we could use that around here. Good answer." So, to put a good spin on it, he should think of the pin as a conversation piece. I'd dance around the "Isn't skydiving dangerous?" questions though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #29 July 28, 2004 QuoteHappy - he did it playing Volleyball. People just never learn - THAT shit is dangerous. That's a drag. It would be a cooler story if it happened jumping. Kind of like my ironing injury. I was ironing my work shirts while wearing gym shorts and no shirt. I was watching tv at the same time and touched the iron to my side. I've got a small scar. People (read women) ask where I got it. It's too wide to say "dueling". My memory is too poor to make up an exciting story, so I just tell the truth. If he's just chasing girls in a bar, I'd go with the historically confirmed method of lying to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattjw916 2 #30 July 28, 2004 Hell, now that I think of it, you could tell people that you hit a chain-link fence while landing and that your medical coverage doesn't cover skydiving injuries so you have to wait to get it removed. I bet you could get some more free beers out of that story with some extra helpings of BS. NSCR-2376, SCR-15080 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
