Seven-Line Resume Story

 I sat and watched a news piece today that chatted on Meghan Markle's position in life.  Then I went looking for her background for the past 15 years (the resume, as I would call it).

The degree?  Double major situation: theater and international studies.  The hope that this would lead onto the State Department?  You have to test for their foreign officer situation....that didn't work out for her with the end-score.

A couple of years as a bookbinder instructor?

First real acting job?  A one-day job as a nurse on General Hospital. 

A couple of minor roles with The War at Home (2006) and CSI: New York (2006).

A couple of modeling jobs.

A brief stint as a "briefcase girl" on Deal or No Deal.

Then a remarkable year or two with the show 'Suits'. 

Beyond that?  Pretty marginal.

I often talk about people who attempt to impress you....with a seven-line resume.  You keep going back to the resume and trying to figure out how they got this far in life off seven lines.  She's one of those people.
