Your Zombie-Apocalypse Profession?

[MrScott101]

I'm a production Artist which doesn't help right now, but I was a cook then italian chef for a combination of 9 years prior, so I can make some good eats. I know a little bit about a lot of stuff and really good at thinking outside the box. Was really into building things from junk so i'd be decent at converting things to what we need. Not too bad at math but not good enough to really use it other than rationing. I do a lot of paintball too but I'm a smoker so I'm good for short bursts. Otherwise I'm a great overnight watch person, I can't get to sleep until well after everyone else. Oh yeah and I'm good at little alarm type traps!

Let’s see my experience:
Prior military combat engineer
5 years construction
12 years in management
Hobbies:
Hunting
Fishing
Camping
Hiking
Geocaching
I think I would be the quiet person that is always helping out from the background. Or I would be more like Burt lol.....

I'm 19, so I'm young and strong. I take Muay Thai and have experience in Karate and Ju-jitsu. I own two machetes, one sword, two "big" knives and several pocket knives. I can carry most of these on my person with my belts and keep my hands free. I also have a couple of rifles and a handgun that I have some experience in using. There are many better marksman out there, but I am not horrible. I keep in good physical shape, can run fast and I have lots of endurance, especially if zombies are chasing me. So I could be used as a diversion and probably get away to meet up with the team later.

I can carry a fair amount of gear, though it would impact my top speed. I also have the zombie survival guide memorized, so I can tell you what it says about certain ideas. There is some construction experience in my background, but far more demolition, so if we need to take out a wall to escape, I can do that, unless it was like an insane wall. If we don't have access to razors, I will not complain about having to grow a beard. Lastly I'm a very positive person with good jokes to keep up moral

My one big zombie related weakness is that I'm not very stealthy, though I am working on this. But if you need someone big and loud to attack them to draw their attention, I'm your man.

that should show some of my preparedness.

I'm a skinny man, so I'll be able to out run them pretty easy, as long as I give up smoking. Zombies don't think smoking makes you look cool BTW. haha

Hell yeah! haha.

I would probably be a decent scavenger or something. I count myself as having a good eye. Im a national representative for running so I should be ok to outrun zombies or be quick in quick out of an area. I consider myself patient to scout an area or be a watch guard as well. I know first aid and am qualified to take hiking/tramping tours, so I am use to carrying heavy packs.

Likely Possible Jobs:
Scavenger
Guard

I've been staving off posting to this thread, but here it goes.


I'm a highly technical handyman. I love fixing things, whether they be electronic or not. I have a minor knowledge of PCB's, so that would help with that.
I also am an excellent chef. Lot's of food in my repertoire. I had to find ways to keep food interesting in college.

My biggest detractor is that I'm not overly fit. I'm not Kalani, but I'm still no Michael or Skittles.

Great post! hmm Not sure. I'm an artist... In a post apocalyptic world, that's pretty useless. However, I do have a creative/problem solving mind, a visual memory, a sharp eye, and I'm a fast runner. I would prob either be some type of scout or scavenger or I'd be taking the jobs inside that no one really wants. I'm also the guy everyone likes to ask for advice or bitch about someone else to. haha

i've worked in procurement and now am in information technology. I'd probably be one of the Redshirts on a scavenging mission.

I'm studying to be a firefighter/paramedic. I'm sure I could have some uses. Heck, if I was at the tower I could've put out that fire before it even began. Which I'm curious how the fire spread so fast with 3 or 4 extinguishers on the scene within minutes of initial ignition. Must've been a lot of blankets, or curtains. Could have also been a very BIG molotov, but yeah.

sorry if this is too big of a bump, but I really like this thread!

I'm work on IT, so not a lot that directly translates to zombie survival there except supervisory/management experience and working with security cameras and video networking in addition to the normal computer networking. I'm am a member of a rabid Airsoft team that have been playing competively for four years, so I have a fairly good grasp of leading squad tactics in close quarters and field scenarios. I'm stealthy and patient and a decent shot; however, I have pretty poor eyesight without corrective lenses. I am very organized and possess an excellent memory, can turn a pile of wood into just about any kind of structure imaginable, have a head for mathematics (thank you computer science), cook dinner more often than my wife, and I have an excellent memory. I enjoy long walks on the beach at sunset and cozying up next to the fire with a good book. (hehehe...see what I did there?) when push comes to shove I prefer to let others lead, but won't hesitate to express my opinion when I feel it is either beneficial or necessary.

basically I'd do whatever needs to be done at the time, but would probably be best at inventory or security or construction.
