i told my current employer that i wrote speculative fiction in my spare time to hone my abilities as a writer and learn how to engage with online communities and that i had amassed a following because of said writing and engagement (code for ‘procrastinates by writing stevetony fanfic, posts it to tumblr, and answers asks about it later’) and now i’m in line to be the head of communications. its All About Phrasing, you got this and i believe in you.

#here’s an adulthood pro-tip: we’re all just bullshitting to some degree

This is timely, because I literally just was working on a friend’s resume who does commissions on tumblr, and I wrote it like this:

Freelance Artist
• Created custom artwork for a variety of domestic and international clients.
• Communicated effectively with customers in order to facilitate and execute their visions according to their individual needs.
• Invoiced and processed payments via PayPal processing service.
• Met deadlines, sustained a high level of customer satisfaction, and cultivated a database of clients.
• Used social media to find and connect with customers.

Never underestimate the work that you’re doing!

Oh, yes, my friends. The earlier you learn to sell yourself with unmitigated bullshit, the better off you’ll be.
