Unfortunately, none of his Eph alumni friends have shared with him the truth that your LinkedIn profile doesn't really have to include every lousy job you held since graduation.
To his credit the 30 something Klee does have two books to his credit, Ivyland (2011) and True False: Stories (2015). I sampled some of his writing. He strikes me as a lamer, less talented version of the late David Foster Wallace. Klee's most recent pieces at MEL magazine represent the sort of dull, derivative, politically correct nonsense which has now taken the place of reporting actual facts. In his MEL bio, we learn that Klee is MEL’s "...resident tank-top dirtbag, shitposter and meme expert."
One illustration of the event manager/novelist's empirical weakness is a later Tweet which suggests 80% of his Eph peers are econ majors. Not even close. The real number, according to the college, is closer to 25%.
I get paid to help people rewrite their resumes. I've helped people who have been unemployed for years change a resume which was actually harming their careers. They typically land a great new job in days or weeks. I sometimes do resume rewriting for free for alcoholics and drug addicts in recovery. Unfortunately, Klee's six month stint at Vroman's Bookstore appears just below his current job at MEL and his previously prestigious undergraduate institution.
I'd be happy to help him out, but he probably thinks I'm a RaCiST.
