In a CV that I recently received the candidate claimed to be able to fit a salted pretzel stick in their mouth (crosswise).

Great advice by Shallye Archambeau on Wisdom From the Top with @guyraz

"Own your career!"

Decide what you want to do, what to learn, what experiences you want to have.

Then figure out a plan to make it happen and intentionally execute it."
