I was wondering if one could write something actually worth taking home and showing to others.

1 - Make your resume into a slide show with background music.

2 - Create fancy transitions

3 - replace the numbers in your slideshow resume with fast running counters that count up to the desired value.

4 - add something original that you feel should be part of the task

5 - create a fully functional inquiry form as the final slide of your resume

6 - All tasks are optional, have the amount of work you put in reflect how desperately you need this job.
