Before I started my dealings with computers, I used to work in
chemistry.
My CV from that era consists of a dinosaur bone arrangement - I killed
them and rearranged their bones to convey the message.
If you wanted to employ me at that time, you'd be supposed to excavate
the bones and read them.

However I got wind of rumors about someone, who encoded his employment
history in the pattern of metal deposits in a lava flow from the
Ordovician era.
