A Story as You Like It

I found A Story as You Like It interesting, not because of its content, however the concept of how the reader has the ability to direct how the story comes out. The author on the other hand attempts to provide all the viable possibilities of how the story can come out. It's funny, but in a sense that is what we are going to be doing with our applications, resumes, etc. As possible candidates for graduate schools and jobs, we attempt to provide the selection committee as many "options" as we can to show our versatility and with that they decide how our stories go. Maybe it's because I have been staring at my graduate school applications for the past couple of days, however, while reading this piece, I couldn't help but making a connection between A Story as You Like It to my resume and personal statement that I have been drafting.
