What to put on resume?

OP: skimpy is topless barmaid.
Thanks for feedback guys, was thinking of putting that I travelled round WA and worked in bars, like lots of backpackers do. Then that way they won't ask for refs cause they would be a week or so at each place.

Cookie: lol self discovery I like that one

If you put that, I would assume you were a skimpy

I have an ex strip club hostess on my books (was a stripper for a while too) She put nothing. I found out later.

Go either way, but I would say nothing.

I'd just put casual bar work.

As long as you're not going for a job as a priest - who cares?

Really, the resume is just to get your foot through the door, then it comes down to the interview. If they like you, it's 99% in the bag as long as your ref doesn't bag you. People give jobs to people they like.

I've interviewed people and you choose someone who you think is a good fit and who you'll get along with and who you think can do the job. Given a choice between someone less qualified but who you like and someone who has more experience/qualified but you think you won't gel with - you go the under-qualified/experienced person every time.

yes fionas
no one would be a priest I think they have more faults then any of us

bar work would cover it no need to go into details

[angelaartsstudent]

Yep. Bar work.

I was a brothel receptionist for 2 years during university and my resume says "office assistant".

LOL sorry I actually read it as that you had skipped between jobs, ie basically done nothing on and off. Not sure where my mind was at!
Still journey of self discovery works... Now you can probably make sense of what was a disjointed post!

Oh my Godfather, Cookie - just spit tea out of my nose reading your last post. But I must admit that I assumed a skimpy was someone who bludged on Centrelink and didn't want to work (too much time in recruitment I think).

I would say that you were in hospitality and highlight your customer service skills. I said this in another post when a SAHM was trying to figure out a way to pad her cover letter/resume to re-enter the workforce: you have more valuable skills than you will ever realise or give yourself credit for and it doesn't matter where you attained them. It just matters that they stuck and you know what to do with them in a professional environment.

Be selectively honest and sell the crap out of yourself. Anyone would be a fool not to hire someone who has gone on an amazing journey of self-discovery for 3 yrs and has higher morals than a priest.
