Talk:Chris's resume

To do

• Categorize
• Fix formatting
• wikify this biz-nitch.
• incorporate into the articles about his jobs. Also, CWChronology. --Champthom 23:40, 9 September 2009 (CEST)

I'd fix the formatting a bit more, but without access to the actual resume, I can't proceed without risking some minor betrayal of Chris's originial, terrible layout. Llort 00:53, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

• I think in the meantime, it wouldn't hurt to just put every "experience" into one heading and maybe make a note that Chris, for some reason, labeled each experience as "experience." It's a bit of an unorthodox departure from the original but it will help preserve the sanity of anyone reading it. Good work with the formatting, by the way. --Champthom 01:00, 10 September 2009 (CEST)
  • It doesn't help that Chris also headed every job that he listed with the placeholder phrase "Job Title" instead of actually entering in the job title for each fucking job! Llort 04:27, 10 September 2009 (CEST)
• Goddammit, Chris, this is not how to do a resume. If any employer saw this jumbled mess under "job objective", they'd toss it right out (it should be very TL;DR). Why didn't his mom and dad help him out on doing this at all? Sure, sure, mommy and daddy shouldn't do everything for him, but they are the only people that'd help him. Unless Bob didn't want to because of the gubbiement monies...oh I get it now. --Wild Sonichu 04:30, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

• While it seems like resume advice is entirely subjective and you could probably find an "expert" who would find this resume acceptable, I think it's reasonable to say that this resume violates the general standards associated with resumes (namely, being more than one page long, including references directly onto the resume, etc.). It might be interesting to note which resume rules he's broken, briefly at least. --Champthom 23:58, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

• Whatever he calls this jumbled mess of garbage and spelling errors... at least he copyrighted his resume... nice little copyright logo at the bottom. --DrBonerSauce 07:45, 10 September 2009 (CEST)
• What's up with his idiotic and obsessive desire to copyright everything he produces? Should it be mentioned in some article or is it already? --Hayate666 22:04, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

  Chris doesn't like to share--that's what I think. Look at his copyright disclaimer and note how he wants to regulate every little thing about Sonichu. He wants everyone in the world to know that he created Sonichu and thus that he owns Sonichu and no way are you going to take that away from him. Thus, the obsession with "C-in-a-circle." I wonder if he shared his toys with other kids when he was younger. Ensign disposable 00:20, 11 September 2009 (CEST)

  • Chris also believes cartoons are real (or at least, that's the general consensus). He also believes that HE controls the reality of Sonichu, and anything ANYONE says can influence this reality- so fanart happens, basically. He wants to be the one who chooses what happens in CWCville, and copyrighting, as far as he can see make this possible. --12:48, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

  Ah, but don't forget, he loves to "share" from other people without their permission. Because not only is he a selfish little twat, he's also a hypocrite. But we knew that already, didn't we. Ensign disposable 00:22, 11 September 2009 (CEST)

• Has anyone tried contacting any of Chris's references? I get the feeling that he hasn't actually asked some of them if he can use them for a reference ('good people/social skills' my ass), or that some of them might not be so eager to provide a reference for him nowadays. SirCucumber 15:38, 11 September 2009 (CEST)

BAM job? LOL

I can't believe he put that down as a "job". I actually worked at that BAM but not during those years he was there. A friend/coworker of mine did, so I'll have to ask them about this in more detail, but I do vaguely remember them saying something about extremely obnoxious & smelly people. (We were complaining one day a year or two ago about the Yu-Gi-Oh players & he started talking about the Pokemon players.) Obviously, this isn't something he could put down as employment, but did anyway. I just think it's funny that he's trying to say that his Pokemon game playing was a job. If anyone ever does bother calling (which would mean that they would be actually entertaining the idea of hiring him, which isn't going to happen any time soon) I'll have an earful to give them! Meeko 01:16, 10 September 2009 (CEST)Meeko

• Yeah, pretty much. Chris is essentially conflating doing something for free with "volunteer work." The thing is, Chris wasn't playing Pokemon with these kids because he was a sweet and caring young man who cared about inner city youth or some shit like that, it's because he'd be playing it anyway and it just so happened that the only people who would play with him happened to be 8-10 years his junior. Furthermore, according to Mimms and Lucas, Chris never really did gym leader shit at the GAMe PLACe because the people running the place wouldn't let him, and only once when the regular guy was out did Chris really do anything. The rest of the time was Chris hovering around Megan and him yelling at black children to not steal his cards.

I'll see about copying and pasting the PVCC thread where Mimms and Lucas answer questions. --Champthom 01:30, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

Pffft!! He must have gone insane at the Midlo store- the old location got a lot of black kids coming in. I'm guessing that he probably wasn't a gym leader at BAM either- I was told that the Pokemon stuff was just like the Yu-Gi-Oh stuff- the kids would show up & play in their little cliques, then leave. There wasn't any real leadership within the groups as a whole, although they did have staff members who would watch over the kids to make sure that they weren't bothering anyone or fapping to book covers. (Somebody actually found a kid rubbing one out over the covers in the fantasy section. It'd be hilarious if that was Chris, but it was some 12 year old.) Meeko 02:53, 10 September 2009 (CEST)Meeko

1996, not 1998

Pokemon, the games that is, came out in early 1996 in Japan, not 1998. IMB706 01:40, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

• But Chris lives in the US, when it didn't come out until September 1998. --Champthom 01:55, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

Publishing doesn't work that way!

Good grief, why does he have to be so clueless about things he really cares about? Publishers don't look for resumes online. This is how publishing really works: You make a complete work on your own dime, send it to a publisher (via an agent in some cases), the editor reads it over, and if it is good enough and fits the publisher's tastes/target demographics/publication schedule, they offer a contract. You get an advance based on an estimate how much it will sell, and possibly royalties if it does really well on the market. At least this is how it works in literature, I'm fairly confident the comics world works pretty much the same. If he really wants a job as of a full-day commissioned artist under Archie, Marvel etc, he'd probably have to have some sort of top-notch comic publication credits under his belt... --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 13:31, 10 September 2009 (CEST)

• Ah, but that's the wonder of Chris's mind: he doesn't want to go to them, he wants THEM to come to HIM. He thinks he's so important that they must bow down to his requests. Let's face it: he's no Jack Kirby, he's no Mark Bagley, and hell, Ron Lim can draw Sonic circles around Chris! --Blazer 23:11, 10 September 2009 (CEST)
• As well as a portfolio of his artwork. He can't just describe himself as having "great hand-drawing skills" to be hired as an artist: he has to show that he does. And he obviously doesn't. --Spandam-sama 00:53, 11 September 2009 (CEST)
  • Most mainstream comic publishers, or prose publishers for that matter, don't accept unsolicited manuscripts or portfolios, for that matter, thus bringing us back to the mention of the agent. Dark Horse will from what I've read, but Archie will not. I don't know about DC or Marvel but I'm about to go to bed and can't be assed to look. I sadly don't have any personal experience in the comic industry, but I do in the prose and poetry industry... and without an agent, you're basically bound to independent presses and sometimes magazines, or trying to get lucky sending unsolicited materials to the big boys; these unsolicited works are usually sent to what's called the "slush pile", which is essentially a big box of crap that may or may not have something good in it that they'll sort through if they have time. If he wants to get published by Archie and such forth, as mentioned by Wwwwolf, he'll not only need to get some credits, but likely an agent too. Agents won't take on people they don't think they can market. BubblegumPinkButler 07:51, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Here's the thing: DC, Marvel, Archie... they'll occasionally look through unsolicited submissions, but they don't buy original stories. There's too much legal BS to deal with. They look at art, and if they like what they see, they hire people to work on the comics and characters they already hold the rights to. If a creator works with them for a while, then maybe they'll consider making a comic based on a new idea they present, but even then it's usually just as part of their larger "universe". Inkmonkey 12:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Called the references?

Has anyone tried calling up his references (pretending to be HR at a job he's applying for) to get their opinion of him? I'd suggest calling Wendy's (suspiciously absent from the references list) but he hasn't worked there in 9 years and I doubt they'd remember the guy who worked there 45 days. The trouble with this is they all seem like they'd give him a good reference out of pity. Although maybe not Tony Wayne, who he refers to as a Pokemon Gym Leader (and so may dislike him from his moronic attitude from gaming stores). It's a fair bit of work, but it may be an interesting perspective on the manchild. -- Borednewb 13:11, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Chris's cover letter

   8/16/2009

   Dear Hiring Manager:

   I, Christian Weston Chandler, Birth name: Christopher, born on February 24, 1982 in Charlottesville, Virginia, am an artist with vast experiences in multiple art classes with multiple media throughout my whole lifetime from Green County Primary School to Piedmont Virginia Community Collge, with a diploma from Manchester High School and a degree and certificate in Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) from PVCC.

   Since the inspiration and conception of Sonichu, the Electric-Hedgehog Pok’emon on March 17, 2000, I have grown further in his stories, plots and adventures in a series of hand-drawn and computer-edited comic books. I also have had and passed two HTML classes, and created from notepad scratch, CWC’s Pok’eSite 2!, El Pok’eSite de R.W.C. (Ricardo Weston Chandler was my Spanish nickname given to me during my two years of Spanish in Manchester High), and most importantly, the First and Original website dedicated to Sonichu, Rosechu and their adventures, CWC’s Sonichu Site.

   I was also noted twice later in the periodicals of Nintendo Power magazine and PVCC’s The Forum for being the original creator of Sonichu and all. (See Periodical References below)

   With the Sonichu Stie originally located at http://sonichuchandler.tripod.com/cwcson.htm, it stayed online from about 2000 until early 2009, whereas my Sonichu and Rosechu fanbase has grown massively over the years; there were also internet bullies and trolls. And the trolls hacked into and compromised my original Tripod webhosting account. I’ve had to pull the plug on the Tripod account and move on to another webhosting site. The second webhosting account suffered the same fate as the first, and then I moved to GoDaddy. It got hacked too, and so I pulled the plug on all my websites late May, 2009. I stayed off for about two months, then a gal-pal of mine about that time set up for me a start of what is now the New Original CWC’s Sonichu and Rosechu Site; the wikipedia-styled Cwcipedia at http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Main_Page. As I have done on the previous site, I have re-uploaded my Sonichu comic pages, and I am steadily expanding further with more stories and character bio pages.

   I would like to be paper-published with a comic book company like Archie, Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics, complete with Official Sonichu and Rosechu Merchandise I can personally sign-off on to follow for my Worldwide Fanbase.

   Accept no imposturous substitutes who claim to be me or have any rights on my Sonichu and Rosechu stuff; I stand strong with my continued use of the Copyright © symbol on each of all my books and original singular art pieces and the date of creation of March 17, 2000. I have eye-witnesses at Manchester High of Sonichu’s conception and creation on that date. It also bothers me that the trolls are even selling bootleg copies of my Life DVD, Christian Weston Chandler. Yep…I’m On T.V., which was originally intent solely for family and close friend distribution. Trust one of the trolls to snag a copy and rip the vieos from the six-hour DVD-R.

   I became famous without having to leave my house or go out-of-state or city.

   After recent realization, on about July 17, 2009, of what I want to do, I wish to make it all official; get me paper-published with a comic book company like Archie, Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics, with continuing work as a comic book artist and story creator/editor, good pay, eventual official Sonichu and Rosechu merchandise that I can personally and officially sign-off on and further enforce my nine-year-old copyright with a more peaceful future.

   I feel that my Sonichu and Rosechu and self adventure stories would be an asset for the Comic Book, and all associated, industries.

   Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss the opening with you in person.

   Sincerely

   Christian Weston Chandler

I dumped all that into word and it's about 8 pages. Jesus. I'll take a crack at formatting it, I guess.
Also, the .zip you put in the community portal has a written resume from 2009. I'm thinking give that its own page, because this page is giant enough already. --Beat 07:25, 19 September 2010 (PDT)

Is it worth a footnote?

I just noticed that Chris lists his emplyment at Wendy's from August 2001 - October 2001. In The Father Call, Chris tells Kacey's father that on September 11th he was shopping with his mother because he was down about being let go from Wendy's. It's hardly surprising that Chris lied on his resume, but is that worth a footnote or something? Whispsonichu 10:48, 2 October 2010 (PDT)
