Hypothetically if someone wanted to include their ability to schedule appointments, organize events and transportation, and meal plan and prep for their family on their resume how would they word that

We LOOOOOOVE the "how do I reframe unpaid labor on my resume" question. This is like Bitch bait.

Ok, so this sounds like you are an Organizational Specialist, or a Personal Assistant to a Head of Household, or an Organizational Consultant to a busy professional. List of responsibilities should include event planning, nutritional development, essential transportation, scheduling and booking, and administrative management.

Pick the corporate buzzwords that most fit with the job you're applying for, stare them directly in the eyes, and know that your unpaid labor for your family is VALUABLE WORK EXPERIENCE.

I will always stand by the headcanon that Apollo willinglly becomes the next camp director after Dionysius' punishmen is over and insists on keeping his Lester Papadopoulos body and having the other campers and Chiron call him Lester instead of Apollo

I love it so so much you can take this headcanon form my cold boney withered dead hands!

romantically, this girl is on sabbatical. literally can't take any more emotional damage this year lol I've run out of any capacity for nonsense :-) if anyone is interested, they'd have to be willing to wait, because -- and I cannot emphasize this enough -- my heart is so exhausted. SO exhausted.

teaching my gf all my resume/cover letter tricks. i have this down to a science

The Cover Letter Toolbox

Or, how to write cover letters while autistic.

One of the autistic traits I have is difficulties with what's called "expressive language" - I don't think in words, and putting my thoughts into words takes a lot of time and effort. For me, going straight from a blank page to a full sentence that makes sense is difficult, and making that sentence sound professional is even harder. So I came up with a way to avoid starting from a blank page. This is what I do instead.

When I've read a job posting and decided I want to apply, I start by making a list of qualifications and things from the job posting that I have or can do, just a list of words or short phrases like

Customer service experience Scheduling Microsoft Office

Then I go under each of those list items and make it into a full sentence.

Customer service experience: I have five years of experience in customer service.

Once I have the most basic version of that sentence, I think about details that I can add to it. The point of a cover letter is two things-

to summarize the things from your resume that are relevant to this job, so the person doing the hiring doesn't have to read the whole thing and connect the dots themselves.

to add details and explain things that might not be in your resume.

So some details that I want to add here are that I didn't just talk to customers myself for five years, for part of that time I was a manager responsible for training other people to give good customer service. And I was good at that- we always got good results on our customer surveys, and we also always hit our goals for stuff like signing people up for the loyalty program. So now I've got a second sentence:

As the [job title] with [company], I trained our entire team on how to best serve our customers and helped ensure that my location had the best results in the region for customer loyalty.

Another thing from the job posting that I want to address with this bit is that the job I'm applying for involves helping people over the phone a lot. So I want them to know that even though my experience is in a different environment (retail instead of an office front desk) I did still have to answer phone calls and help people over the phone. This is the type of detail that's not in my resume and that someone wouldn't necessarily guess, but I really did answer a lot of phone calls working in retail.

I also added a little bit of Flavor, so it's not just assisting customers, it's "welcoming, respectful assistance". Yes, I did try like five different words there before picking these ones. Usually I look back to the job posting and pick something that relates to what they've said they want. But I find it a lot easier to figure out details like this after I have the basic structure.

This is what I ended up with for my Bit About Customer Service:

I have five years of experience in customer service, providing welcoming, respectful assistance to customers over the phone and in person. As the [job title] with [company], I trained our entire team on how to best serve our customers and helped ensure that my location had the best results in the region for customer loyalty.

If I really wanted to add a lot of detail, I'd put numbers in here- how big "our entire team" was, what the "best results" were and how we were measuring it. But the position I'm applying for is with a small organization, and probably doesn't involve measuring sales in the same way, so I decided not to add that. If I was applying for another retail job, I'd include those things.

I repeat this same process with each of the qualifications from my list, copy-paste each of those bits in order of how important they are, and then I need an opening and a closing. For the opening, I start by stating the obvious.

Dear hiring manager, I am applying for/interested in/etc. [this position]

and then I apply my school-essay-writing techniques and do a one-sentence preview of the qualifications I just got done writing about.

I am confident I have the customer service skills, computer expertise and organized mindset to excel in this position.

For the closing, this job posting specifically mentioned putting your contact information in your cover letter, so I did that, and then I like to thank them for looking at my application because that's a nice polite note to end on.

I can be reached at [contact info]. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application, and I look forward to hearing from you. [signature]

Extra Bonus Brownie Points:

Go to their company website and add something that shows you have looked at their company website. Like yes, the main reason you're applying for this job is it's available and you need money, but besides that, there's gotta be something at least a little interesting about this company that might be cool if you get to work for them. In this case they had a whole big section about charities they donate to and how they get involved in their local community, so I added this right before my closing:

[this company's] contributions to charities such as [things from their website] are truly admirable. I've grown to love [this city] since moving here, and I would be honored to be part of an organization that does so much to contribute to the community.

Now wait before you go here's the important part:

I don't delete any of this stuff.

I copy/paste out the finished bits into a new document to send to the recruiter, but I keep that list of qualifications with sentences under each one.

Now I have a document with a list of qualifications I have and nice professional-sounding descriptions of those qualifications, and for the next cover letter I write, I can reuse them if they're relevant, so I don't have to redo all this work of making words make sense. If I decide to change them a little bit for the next job, I'll keep the new version next to the old one under the same heading. I also keep my openings and closings.

I used to have a big file like this but I apparently didn't back it up before my old computer died, so I'm having to re-create it, but you guys this saves me so much time I would otherwise spend staring at a blinking cursor. And it's easier than saving the full finished cover letter and trying to pull sentences out of it, because all the Bits are already organized by topic. (And it lowers the risk of accidentally copy-pasting the wrong company's name.)

I <3 my cover letter workbox.

Spoilt!reader is so real

I need to be praised for spending someone else's money please and thank you

leah does try to put her foot down sometimes and threaten her. saying she will set a budget the next time they go shopping and spoiled!reader nods in agreement. and then the Chanel window display catches her eyes.

“okay, lee. just one more quick look” she steers leah towards the doors of the store.

“im being serious ya’ know”

she tugs leah along.a sweet smile on her face as the doorman opens the door for them. “im sure you are, honey. you said that last time— and the time before that”

guys once i get home im about to lock the fuck in like no one has ever seen before

[jakeperalta]

i don't believe in hell but if i did i just know that whoever invented cover letters would be there

[bitchesgetriches]

When cold emailing a company you have connections to (eg. a family member), should you mention that fact or not? Like, "Hi, I heard about you from [family member], here is my experience..." Since applications tend to ask how you heard about the company, I don't know if this would be helpful or not

Yes, mention it! You can phrase it like:

"Your company was recommended to me by [family member]." And then proceed with the rest of your cover letter.

You can file this one under "Do what you have to do to get your foot in the door." Even if that means leaning into nepo-baby territory. Lord knows the actual nepo-babies aren't hesitating to use their connections to further their careers.

From one femdom to another: tips on domming folks who like to feel objectified? Love your work 💋

yes!! I will try to list from more to less objectifing

I think the main thing is remembering and reminding them that they are there for you. They exist in that moment for your needs and desires not their own. They are an object for you to use. Use them!! Focus on what you want. As long as you are focused on yourself and getting what you want from them, as you deserve, they will be naturally objectified

♡ literally using them as an object (footrest, table, etc)

♡ giving them tasks to do for you. Especially ones that you could easily do yourself! There is no reason for you to do menial tasks when they are there to use.

♡ making them ask permission for basic nonsexual things. Objects don't think for themselves. You know their needs more than them.

♡ making them show off their body for you. Inspect them like you would a ripe piece of fruit. Openly ogle at them

♡ loudly complain and call them useless when they aren't doing things for you. Make them thank you for giving them a use or even a purpose.

♡ remind them they are a toy for you. Tell them how good they are to use. Tell them they were made to used, that it is all they are good.

♡ make them work to be used. Have them show off their skills. Have them touch themselves in front of you. Touch yourself in front of them and tell them you don't even need them. Make them thank you for letting them be used.

♡ Ignore them when they aren't serving you.

♡ remember to praise them for being able to do basic things!
