Your résumé is red flag after red flag. Regardless of background check, there is absolutely no possibility I would hire someone who submitted that.

Get rid of the emojis.

The "Bugs and Features" section should not exist.

"Hi mom (very dead; very sad)" is completely inappropriate.

You say you are "Very detail oriented," which is incoherent, since someone who actually was detail-oriented would not have omitted the hyphen.

You say you are a "Voracious writer," which is incoherent, since someone who wrote a lot would know that that the word "voracious" relates to consumption, not production.

The story about sticking a fork in a light socket is inappropriate and weird.

This résumé is fundamentally inconsiderate. It appears to be intended to make people feel ill at ease. I strongly recommend you reconsider it.

ALSO: I don't know you, but I can't shake the suspicion that the résumé and the cURL incident are related, i.e., that there's a fundamental TPJ issue preventing you from understanding how your actions will come across to others.
