if you want to say that you told someone else to change a light bulb you could write:

oversaw the rapid deployment of a new environmental illumination system in accordance with all existing industry health and safety regulations.

Ah but you could use that wording anyway to leave it ambiguous because you technically oversaw the work by performing it single-handedly with no external oversight

You were a team leader

That's obviously a misleading resume.

He must have used both hands.

Zero safety incidents

No one's gonna believe that, gotta make it at least a little realistic

I mean, how badly can you fuck up changing a lightbulb?

[–] Ziglin 2 points 1 year ago

If you happen to be uninstalling an old light that has mercury or whatever toxic things are in it you could poison yourself if you break it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don't get me started on those stupid ass "open architecture" or whatever the fuck they call it with lightbulbs on a celing 40 fucking feet above a flight of stairs...

consigliere, @moyodre

How would you write "I changed a light bulb" on your resume?
