Who is Icy Sedgwick?
Icy is a folklore blogger and host of the Fabulous Folklore podcast. She is based in the north east of England, where she was born and raised amid the folk tales and legends of Tyneside and Northumberland. Icy is fascinated by history, cinema, art, and the occult, and griffins will always be her favourite mythical beast. She also writes dark fantasy novellas, Gothic short stories and the occasional weird Western, and she holds a PhD in Film Studies!
this is really nicely done. An idle part of my brain wonders whether the red circling is in fact a lipstick ring?

I love how the visual aspect makes a great idea even better. I might polish up my resume and see what happens.
I love it. Perfect.

Clever! The format really makes it work!
I love this! Not just the text, with all that’s left unsaid, but the graphic format is expertly done and ties it all into a work of art.
I agree with all the posts above. Very nicely done.
I smiled at the “dastardly plans” bit. That’s when it all came together for me. And look, they circled your ad! So applicants should be on the way.
Perfect!
The life of a henchman. I think I could do it, and then work my way up.
Very clever and nicely done!
Genius Icy. This would fit perfectly into any number of journals and literary/art periodicals. You are always innovative with your ideas. Not for the first time, I predict great things for you.
ps. I used your ‘robin’ photo prompt for my flash this week.
Absolutely brilliant. The format really takes it to another level.
WOW, sounds like my kinda job (in my dreams)
What-the-hell, I’ll send a C.V. off anyway, ya never know, do ya? 🙂
whoa. I am applying! Sounds fun. 😀
But what supervillain would actually make up their resume? Only henchmen obey orders.

Craig – That’s always a good career plan.
Justin – There are plenty more coming with this theme.
Tim – Always good to experiment.
Steve – What’s the worst that could happen?
Sonia – Great!
Raven – The supervillain is advertising for henchmen, and it’s the henchmen who need to make up a resume. That’s why they’re supposed to send their emails to an @supervillain.com address.
Michael – Ah, experience with death rays is a definite plus.
I love the concept and it made me giggle (in a good way) when I read it. Of course, you know this because you were there when I read it. Great work, as always! 😀
As for being suitable for the role, aren’t I already in your employ as a henchman? You’re not firing me, are you? *sadface* Or am I getting a promotion? 😛
Ha haa this was great I’m feeling a bit dastardly today may knock off a resume myself ^__^
Pure awesome, Icy. 🙂
Very clever. Love the use of “dastardly plans” – what fun!
Oh, the ad itself is the beginning! How cool and clever! I still want to join!
