Dear Diary – My CV

I was wondering, right, what my curriculum vitae would look like if I decided to do – say – apply for a position in someone else’s band. Or whatever.

It’s not like I’ve ever actually had to write a CV before, so bear with me; Here is my first attempt.

I wonder if I’d get hired.

Love,
George
