I put a picture of “this is Sparta” in my portfolio. So far, no company has asked me about it. But if they did, they’d get extra preference from me, since they actually looked at my work.

I remember seeing that in a portfolio when I was reviewing candidates and thought you might not be serious about the job or that you made a mistake, which highlighted you as a risk. As such you did not make our preferred candidate list.

Hehe. I’m fine with that outcome. I think it’s a good filter for companies that are too stringent. Humor is an important metric in work-life balance.

There are plenty of jobs. Once we run into another recession, maybe I’ll put on a suit.
