Recent Awards: Winner (wraith category) of the Middle Earth Unnerver of the year 3018 Award

Commissions: Sauron ("The #1 Dark Lord"-TIME Magazine)

“The Witch-King is a top class servant”
Sauron, Dark Lord

“It is unusual to find someone today who can understand the intricacies and nuances of evil. It is always a pleasure to see someone working in this medium who clearly has a talent that should not be wasted...”
Melkor, Evil Overlord.

“...The Witch-King's work has always had a distinctive and unusual quality as he has drawn on his own and other cultures to combine them in an expressive attack form. He has been working with Sauron and all the other Nazgul and is currently embarked upon a mission, which promises to be successful as the return of Sauron and also as a commercial venture. His particular vision and his technical abilities make The Witch King a Nazgul of distinction.”
Saruman, Fellow Servant

“...[I admire] his work - intense, evil acts which capture the subjects’ real fear in an almost intimate way. He constructs his deeds as a painter might, rather than catching a fleeting chance at fright. His individual dark technique is as much a part of his artistry as the dramatic use of his invisibility.”
Khamul, The Easterling

Wait, what? A résumé thread? Diamond awakes from her post-Christmas daze to rail against the fates and squeal that she already started an employment related thread here! Now she'll go pout in a corner. Phooey. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

On the upside, she has just noticed that she now has 1111 posts, a loverly number, which also happens to be a character from a story she has written. Double Eleven... Anyway, she'll go to bed happy now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Aah, Diamond, you see, your thread is more a Wanted kind of thread, whilst mine is a strict CV only one. Let us settle our differences and make peace. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 12-28-2002, 03:51 PM

Fair enough. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'll even write a résumé for you. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Name: Samwise Gamgee

Work History: Gardner of Bag-end, very good with flowers and herbs. Also good with pots and pans—can cook a mean coney stew. Feared by spiders everywhere.

Education: Tutored by Bilbo Baggins, also picked up nuggets of wisdom from one Hamfast Gamgee.

Awards: "Best Performance as an Elf-lord" (1319), the "Cormallen Praise Them With Great Praise" award (1319) and "Shire Gardner of the Year" (1320).

"A stout-hearted lad." ~ Elessar Telcontar, King of Middle-earth

"A Genuine Hobbit." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, Professor of Anglo-Saxon

"He's loyal, brave, trustworthy, loving, self-sacrificing, and he's good at piggy-back rides." ~ Frodo Baggins, the Ringbearer

"Sneaky fellow, but tight as a dragon in a pinch, just like old Blibo. Or better, I daresay." ~ Gandalf the White, Istar

"He's worth waiting for." ~ Rose Cotton Gamgee

LePetitChoux · 12-31-2002, 01:24 PM

Reason for applying
Having reached a glass ceiling in my current profession, I am eager to follow other opportunities. Since security and protection were my main areas of expertise in earlier employment, I feel that I could respond well to a situation that is both challenging and less demanding than my present position. I would welcome a subordinate role such as this as the responsibilities of my existing employment have become burdensome.

I feel that I would be an asset to your organisation, since I have already faced and defeated the most dangerous creatures that could conceivably invade your premises. I can supply my own weapons and uniform on receipt of a design. Travel no object.
