So I'm thinking of expressing interest in Bankruptcy.
Will it help to mention that I have personally gone into bankruptcy and am familiar with it?

Telling firms you went bankrupt sounds like a great idea.

That would be like if you told a criminal law firm that you had first hand experience with murder and rape.

Well how is it different than telling a corporate practice that you used to be a CEO?

1) Bankruptcy is viewed as bad, being a CEO is viewed as being good. It shows you lack discipline.
2) Personal bankruptcy prob doesn't transfer well to corp bankruptcy.
3) Did you do the work, or hire someone else to do it.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled, I wouldn't argue that experience makes me a potentially better dentist.

Go and contemplate how stupid this question is.

Stop trying to hurt HLS's employment numbers.

But thanks for giving ours a hand.

I don't always lol at DF's posts, but I lol'd at this one.

This is a joke, right?

I told the Executive Office for the Immigration Review of DOJ that I had personal experience with getting deported. Got hired immediately.

Talk about a logic fail.

Ha

If I once tried to extort money or engage in insider training, can I use it to say that I have experience in the white collar crime department? Lol, I seriously hope OP is joking.
