Adult Industry CV
We had a busy weekend and despite getting a huge amount done, there’s a lot I didn’t get round to. It’s frustrating that as I sit, taking a break and drinking a diabolically horrible coffee from a Klix vending machine that all I can think about is writing and blogging and toy reviews and videos and, well anything but work.
I feel a career change coming on. Not necessarily into writing full time, but something more creative. Getting back into photography maybe, video perhaps? Maybe even television?
One part of me says that it’s daft to aspire to such things, after all I don’t move in creative circles other than on the Web. Yet the other side of me, the one that wants the change tells me that I, no we, Suze and I, have a huge amount of untapped potential and ideas. They have been dammed up for so long when unleashed they more than make up for our lack of experience.
Now the question is of course, how do you go about declaring authorship of a sex blog on your CV? Do you wait until after the job offer? Well not really, I mean who’s going to give you a job based on the declaration that “I’ve written a blog for three years, but I can’t tell you the URL”?
Coffee break over, back to the grind. (From the ground to the grind, before anyone says it)
The wolf? I love wolves.
I think it all depends on the places you wish to approach. Conservative places are pretty much out of the question.
Men’s magazines like FHM aren’t too conservative, and similar publications. It depends on what line of work that you want as well. I was recently reading a text that I found on Google Print, and I’d heard about it in the past, but pretty much ignored it (as I was tired of reading yet another bloody self help guide), but I did look at it last week out of curiosity, and the fact that I’m sick and tired of my current job (everything about it, from tasks to the very personalities within it), the text is titled, ‘What Colour is My Parachute,’ and it discusses the differences between a creative job search and a traditional job search (the latter being more monotonous, and how it may lead to people getting jobs they aren’t really happy in). It made me question myself, because as much as one deems oneself creative, and that may be the case -there’s the other question mark of why one cannot be creative where work is related (being non traditional in finding a job, simply approaching companies of interest, shaping oneself rather than permitting job ads shaping one’s decisions – because it can be depressing perusing job advertisements, and reading stuffy requirements for jobs that don’t really need the criteria listed, and not all jobs require the criteria listed), and this is probably one thing that slips away when one is engaged in other creative pursuits, so creativity can be extended to the job or career as well as the regular creative pursuits. Don’t mind me, I’ve been spending the last fortnight working on a way to get out of the shitty company I work in, and not end up in a similar place/environment or job. It’s hard, but I’m trying to remove the aspect of necessity from the equation, because I think necessity sometimes enables bad decisions or decisions that are unhealthy in the long run.
i often think about changing careers….doing something more creative….but, alas, there is too much stuff going on for me to undertake a new adventure right now.
