My job at wal-mart has been fluctuating and bipolar that it’s making me want to potentially seek out other jobs. I’ve acquired a few certifications with them that enables me to operate some of their machines like electric pallet jack, sit-down forklift, a walking stacker .etc

Unbeknownst to me, I am not allowed to carry these certifications outside Wal-Mart to use. But I know I can at least mention on my resume that I am capable of using these machines.

How would I word this on my resume?

    Wow, I thought you were just ignorant, but it turns out you’re just a piece of shit

    Edit: While the term “bipolar” has broader dictionary definitions beyond the clinical mental health diagnosis, using it casually to describe non-medical situations like the weather or jobs is insensitive and trivializing of the experiences of those living with bipolar disorder. The mental health connotation of the word is so strong that even if other definitions exist, the language can perpetuate stigma. The goal is not to restrict language use, but to encourage more thoughtful and considerate terminology, especially when it comes to mental health-related words
