What would Santa's CV look like?

Ok it’s a long shot but let’s imagine a time when Santa is redundant…

Children no longer post letters to him at the North Pole or push them up the chimney, they simply use an app on their smart phone.  All shopping is done online and drones deliver gifts.  And mince pies and sherry are banned by the sugar police and drink responsibly brigade.
