Help Improve This Guy's Resume

I work at the state employment office and I was going over this guy's work history when I saw this:

Quote:
Occupation: Chicken Killer

Description: I kill chickens.

This is the exact wording on his resume. How would you re-word this?

I like it as is, but I think I might add a little blood stain on the page.

Why would he have to look it up when it's perfectly obvious that he MADE IT UP.

Unless he still has the job shouldn't he say "I killed chickens"?

I remember reading one application for a legal secretary that described a previous job the applicant had at a hosiery factory. Not exactly relevant, but OK, it's a job. Then I got to the description - she worked with imperfect product, sewing two different halves of women's stockings together for resale. I probably would have just stopped with the general description.

Obviously, this was in his past work history, so it should probably be "I kilt chickens".

If he only chased the chickens around, he could probably pay a guy a couple hundred to change his name to "Liberator" or "Avatar" or something.
