I just sent an email...
They asked for a resume, but me, not having one, or knowing what the hell they look like I just sent him an email. Hopefully I get a response.
The email contains A LOT of personal information, but oh well. Come find me damnit! I did remove the contact details though.
Hello, my name is Branden Knab and I am a 17 year old partially train Locksmith. I'm currently working on my advanced degree from Foley-Belsaw, which I'm currently studying safes.
I currently live in Albion, so I'm a little ways away from your area, but I've got a way if the price and location is right. With gas prices it's a bit rough coming from out here.
I currently do not have a criminal record, nor do I plan of getting one. I've actually worked with the local Albion Police Department through their Police Explorers program.
For private experience I've been the local key cutter for a while amongst my family and friends, and I have a bit of experience regarding running a key machine.
Also, though it may not be exactly normal to mention, I pick locks for a hobby and have gotten ok from the experience. I participate in sharing knowledge amongst a online community of people who are interested in Locksport.
The most I can really tell you is that I am myself. I'm a hard working individual who has been interested in lock since a young age. I payed half down on my Foley-Belsaw course with my parents and I am dedicated to finishing it out and hopefully one day actually turning my interest and dedication into a living. Locksmithing has been my goal for a long time, and respecting the rules and responsibilites of participating in such a field is something I hold high in my book. I'm here to help those in need, not take advantage of the weak.
Though it may not be the best thing to remark about, I've yet to ever hold a job more than mowing the grass, mainly for the reason I've dedicated myself more to studies in the past than finding a job.
I know this isn't a typical resume, but at the moment it's the best I can do as this is more of spur of the moment sort of thing.
If you are at all interested, please respond. I will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. At the bottom of this email I will attach my contract details in case you are interested in the least.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for being such a non-typical resume.

What do you think? For just randomly finding the post on Craig's I figure it's pretty ok. I mean sure it's a shot in the dark, but oh well! I'd rather have a ticket and a chance then a dollar and a dream.
Plus, I figure if I'm real to them, they may be real to me. Whether it's a typical resume or not.
