A bit off topic, but I'm pretty sure anyone can apply for the draft.

 

Yea, I applied to the draft on a whim with some friend. I should clarify this though -- haven't played since high school. I thought I'd add it to show personality and make it a bit memorable. Do you have a suggestion on how to rephrase it?

 

If you just applied to the NBA draft on a whim without playing in several years...definitely leave it off your resume. Doing something that has effectively zero expected value on a whim will not impress people. List more interesting "interests" (assuming they exist). Also, narrow down the volume of content.

 

You raised over $40mm for charity?

Note: you should use the double m for millions in that bullet since you use it elsewhere.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

Don't normally see that notation. Usually single m will be capitalized and be million. Usually K for thousands. You are probably right, but that confused me.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

Et similique cum quisquam numquam sunt distinctio. Modi totam dignissimos possimus ipsa modi veniam. Rerum qui quaerat et id.
