On a job application online, there's a window to write something about myself.
What are some things you would write?
How serious?
How long would you make it?

Romantic dinners,
Candlelit baths,
Long walks on the beach.
Huge boner.

Tiny penis.

Even if you do, do not say you wank in the office toilette.
- Yes, do not mention wanking, refer to it as the 21-gun salute.orrinward2

Seriously?
I find those boxes on app forms a fucking nightmare to complete BUT as an employer, that section and the Hobbies and Interest sections are the only ones i pay any real attention to. They can be an incredibly valuable insight into the candidate.
So fill them in, fill them in with something interesting, something quirky, something to start a conversation. I once wrote that I was chaperone for Kim Wilde during a Saturday morning kids TV show ('Get Fresh' for all you Eighties throwbacks). Got the job too.

This is the part that will get you in the door.
Tell an interesting story about yourself - Something fun/unique.
Mine for this is usually either 'I was very nearly the milkybar kid' or 'In my first 3 months working in London I was technically homeless and either squatted or exchanged living for various services'.
I had an interviewer tell me he got me in just to find out what the 'various services' were.
- well, what was itdrgs
- plural. For 2 months I was allowed to stay if I cooked in the evening. Another part of it was naughtier.orrinward2

This is where you write something "quirky" and self-deprecating.

Own a fully restored early 80s Iroc Z. Have high-top shoes to match.
Once aspired to become a reverse circumcision technician, but that's another story.
In fourth grade, sold my soul to Kenny Lomax for a measly $7 and twelve packs of unopened Garbage Pail Kids.- Hahahahaha reverse circumcison tech lolkgvs72

I tell about interesting hobbies I have and stuff I like to do. the person hiring me might have similar interests and its always easier working with someone who is into the same things that you are.

In one interview I had four years ago, the boss told me there and then that he got a guy in for a laugh purely 'cos he had put 'Ghost-hunting' in as one of his hobbies!?! Luckily, I got the job... Shirley Ghostman didn't.
Seriously though, what the shit!!!
It's just gotta say sociable, sporty or anything. Humour's good too sometimes. Ghost-hunting, probably not.
