Mario is just like the rest of us.
The iconic Nintendo character has joined 400 million-plus working professionals, having created a LinkedIn account of his own.
"For the past thirty five years I have been a proud Italian-American plumber who, along with my younger brother Luigi, have to defeated creatures that have been coming from the sewers below New York City," Mario writes on his LinkedIn page, additionally citing an Associate's Degree in engineering from Brooklyn College, a City University of New York.
It remains to be seen what exactly Nintendo might be plotting with this Mario profile on LinkedIn. However, as gamers eagerly await, Nintendo seems to keep beefing up his account.
In addition to experience, which ranges from Donkey Kong to Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. and Super Mariokart, Mario published an article Monday entitled, "Everything I Learned About Business ... I Learned From Playing Super Mario Bros."
Hilariously, he lists his skills as Damsel Rescuing, Kart Racing, Mustache Growing, Plumbing and the kicker, Pasta Eating, with each one having already generated several endorsements. Of course ... he's Mario!
To date, Mario's LinkedIn profile only touts 386 connections, but that number is certainly expected to rise in the coming days and weeks.
Tech Times especially loved his bit on keeping a positive attitude within his article post. In it, he writes: "It's just poor sportsmanship to throw down your game controller. Instead of resulting in a won battle, all you will end up with is a broken controller. Life is the same way. A positive attitude will get you much further than an angry, impatient attitude."
Absolutely right, Mario. This plumbing vet/video game hero is likely to gain employment very soon.
This LinkedIn profile is brilliant.
