Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Special Skills on a Resume

I completely agree about having a conversation starter skill. I have "skilled at making shaving cream pies" as well as "proficient as decorating with spike tape" on mine. People always ask and it tends to lighten the mood during an interview. The first resume I sent out with the shaving cream pies skill I got a call for an interview. At the end of the interview the PM asked about it and then told me they actually had a show with shaving cream pies in it. A few days later I was offered the job!
