I just draw one with a pen on my chest to show interviewers. So far it
really hasn't worked out well but I've narrowed the problem down to the
following four possibilities:
1. they don't like to see my pudgy body when I take my shirt off
to show it off
2. they're blinded by the light... my glowing white northern
European complexion exacerbated by flourescent office lighting
3. they're not impressed enough with my ball point pen artwork
4. lack of industry adoption
So far I'm leaning towards a combination of 1 and 2 ;)
Cheers,
Rob.
