Actually, yeah... I'd just won a LEGO-sponsored contest about web design, and
mentioned it to the company owner during an interview. Yes, he hired me. In
fact, he frequently tells people his web guy is an "International award-winning
web designer" (which is true, Kelly says modestly).

I've also listed my 2.5+ years' experience as BZPower admin on my resume - news
writing, administrating a large community, heavy-duty PHP/mySQL coding, and
Linux sysadmin. It's definitely work-related for me.

I was wondering, does anybody have any stories about bringing up Lego during a job interview or school admissions interview? Maybe it was not such a good idea to do it... (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)
