Gimcrack

The line on her resume felt like a useless artifact, something she had dug up in her backyard and stuck on a shelf, for no reason other than to display her find. And that was about as helpful that line of "experience" was going to be. When she brought this sheet of paper to the kinds of places she wanted to work, she knew they'd take one look at that line and go, "Who does she think she's kidding?"

But what else did she have?

She looked at her empty shelves and said, "You gotta start somewhere, right?"
