But it's ironic when I was, there's another video, when I was actually handing in the resume to the bottle shop, I rang a mate that was a little bit into social media.
And he said, what are you doing?
I was in Cairns at that time.
So I'd gone up to Cairns to get a breath of fresh air, leave the life of addiction behind and life of crime.
And anyway, I rang him and I said, he goes, what are you doing?
I said, oh, I'm just handing a resume to the bottle shop.
And I said, I'm trying to get a gig down here so I can get some money in my pocket.
And I said, you know, what are you up to?
I said, I'll come see you for a coffee when I'm done.
And he goes, are you documenting this?
And I said, no, should I be?
He goes, whoa, ex-criminal, ex-drug addict, getting his first job, handing in a resume.
Because social media loves that stuff.
I said, oh, okay then.
I didn't have a clue.
It was the first time I'd made accounts.
I'd never had a social media account was a pinch where I come from.
And so I grabbed the phone and I started recording.
And that, when I'm actually handing in the resume, it went viral.
And so the ironic thing is, when I look back on it now, I reckon the resume into the bottle shop wasn't the real resume.
