- readthenotes1 3y agoI recall reading many years ago about a woman who had to change her name to be male to get calls. That is in contrast with a few years ago where a man changed his resume to be of a black lesbian and started getting calls.
- pavlov 3y agoWhat kind of résumé highlights that the applicant is a black lesbian? This sounds more like a porn movie script. “Hardcore All-Girl Positive Discrimination XVII”
- iExploder 3y agolol you really are not afraid someone's going to press a cancel button on you? based.
- pavlov 3y agoHah. I’m saying the idea that a man could pose on their résumé as a black lesbian sounds more like a male fantasy scenario, because that’s not how professional résumés work at all. Where do you even put the lesbian part? College extracurriculars?
- iExploder 3y agoeasy, you put it right under your photo with your pronouns and twitter handle. exhibitionist don't have any qualms about such sort of behavior
- pavlov 3y agoIn the USA at least it’s highly recommended not to include a photo, even. It puts the employer in an awkward position if you give unsolicited information that they’re legally required not to consider.
- footy 3y agophotos in resume are not common in North America (and are probably grounds to have your resume tossed honestly)
- readthenotes1 3y agoIt was, I believe in the professional organizations and also in a cover letter.
