Yes to this. We can be out of the norm - and emphasize that - without being "funny". Funny is a dangerous quick road to "unprofessional". Too risky for a resume. Pretty risky for an interview beyond a small dose and even that better be "safe humor".



This is especially true if you want to be seen as a person that takes things (like for example a felony conviction) serious.
