Story Time!
I told this story to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shoshannagold last night and promised to pass it along.
We were talking about resumes in my night class last night, and a few students were asking about how to put their international experience on their resumes. The prof was telling them how it's fantastic they have international experience, and how important that is to make very clear on one's resume.
A guy raised his hand and said:
"This question is going to sound weird."
Which caused all of us to have a good chuckle. And the guy follows it up, without any other introduction, with:
"How credible is Canada?"
To which I blurted out without thinking:
"You mean, like, as a country?"
He was speaking about how it looks to have been to Canada for international experience, given the general view in America is that Canada is alternately our hat or our attic. It was decided that Canada, being a different country, is worthy of the international travel sticker, and so is, in fact, credible.
Which brings me to this:
Feel free to use at will.
