Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I've always had to fill in a form with all the information on my resume for a chance at the privilege of going into the office in person and doing the same thing with pen and paper and then potentially being asked in an interview for all the same details again before my job placement where the actual employer asks yet again for multiple forms and verbal conformation. my favorite so far has been filling out the form online only to have to fill out the exact same form online at their office.

and of course the manager I'm reporting too has no idea that there's even a new hire much less any of my details ... which I may have to recount for them.

my details … which I may have to recount for them.

That part isn't so bad. You should have a set of work stories about how awesome you are, that you make sure to tell them. (i.e. the project you single-handedly saved, the problem coworker you were able to get along with, the impossible deadline you met, etc.) Then it's just a matter of figuring out which story to start off with, and ideally it turns into a conversation. "We were using XYZ system on ABC machines, you do that here too?" "Oh yeah that system sucks, one time..." etc.
