Absolutely not. I've had successive jobs in my life, none of which required a resume or something on-hand to sell. Just a willingness to learn and work and an interview. My last one was the US Navy who pretty much hired me on the spot sight unseen and then sent me to electronics school for 3 years. Amazing huh?
Like I said, obvious you never had a real world (private sector) job... unless all you've done are jobs that have zero required skills or experience (e.g. military, fast food, etc.). You're so naive.

And apparently you never did anything with that electronics schooling after the Navy... otherwise you'd know employers require some evidence of skills/experience.

Screenwriting in a different genre IS a job outside their experience. And yet screenwriters get hired for this all the time as I just proved. Colbert is no exception. EOS.
Yet you can't give another example. 9_9
Colbert, by your own admission, is nepotism (friend of Peter Jackson).

Wrong again moron. They were all private sector jobs except for the Navy. Aren't you getting tired of being wrong?

That's what interviews are for. I worked for Scientific Industries here in Portland when I moved here being a technician for circuit board drilling machines. No resume required.

I gave 4 examples of screenwriters being hired to write screenplays in different genres. I also quoted Google AI that this happens all the time. That's plenty to prove you wrong. You have nothing more to argue for, so piss off.

So no work history or resume... ever? @_@

So you never once had to give a work history or resume?
Wow, I guess hippy dippy Portland has zero standards or requirements.

You only gave examples of people selling finished scripts in different genres or already having extensive screenwriting experience in multiple genres.

If you think that's proving something, that's on your poor comprehension. 9_9

What did I say? My first job my dad helped me get because he knew the people there. Another job in the oil field I got thru my brother. Another I got from an old school buddy. Which is people helping people. And there's nothing illegal or immoral about that all. Your resume claim is bullshit.

What did I say? Most my past jobs weren't in Portland moron.

Which totally refutes your claim that screenwriters don't work in different genres or are hired to write screenplays in different genres. You lost the argument in other words. It's now time for you to fuck off.

Ah, no wonder you identify with Colbert so much. You've been defending yourself benefiting from nepotism.
This whole discussion makes so much more sense now. 9_9

Apparently I hit the nail square on the head. One nepo defending another.
