Only if you are sure they aren't going to ask you to do the things on it that you know you can't.
Biggles... Can I steal your list?

The past 9 years since I left school have been 100% debauchery. I intend to keep it up on a smaller scale, but need to get myself financially sorted as living with my parents and sponging off all and sundry is just getting beyond a joke!
I could be a bin man ........

Don't underestimate them, although I suppose it depends what you are applying for. A good use of language is not essential if you're filling shelves at tescos. I've not yet had to impress any employer, as I've only had mundane jobs. I blame this on the fact that I'm still at Uni, but that excuse will soon be invalid, as I finish in June.
