Is it okay to use emoticons on a resume...?

...you know, like the "thinking" one because I'm so smart, or the "sweaty" one because I'm such a hard worker...

What do you think? Any suggestions? Thx!

    Absolutely, go right ahead. Also, if you want to break the ice in the interview, you should try pulling the pockets out of your pants, then letting your penis hang out your zipper, then stand up and say "Oh my God, look, it's an elephant!"

    Oh, good grief! Text on your cell phone during the interview, and just wear torn up muddy jeans and no shoes on the first day of work too. Emoticons, slang, gargon, etc are all a big no-no. Even calling a video "viral" is out of the English Vocabulary now.

    No, because that is pretty unprofessional. Be formal and proper.

    Yes of course ;-)
