I can understand people having trouble with retirement. i always feel the same way after a long vacation, but I feel like after a couple months I would develop a good routine of working on some hobbies.

lancemantis posted:tbh there are plenty of hobbies that can require a lot of work; I just think some people need a “boss” figure or a feeling of legitimacy or value as an employee it's control over their environment and a feeling of satisfaction with their labor. losing those things markedly raises your blood pressure and stuff. the pro move is to just switch to extremely limited work time, like as a contract worker in your field, and continue to make bank doing v little what cracks me up is how hoverwife has so little free time that for like her cv and applications and stuff she has to borrow my hobbies lol

it never occurred to me that putting hobbies on a resume is a good idea. it's like someone who isn't a new grad having their gpa on it

Hobbies are something you pull out during an interview to build rapport, not a qualification. Even if they're related to whatever you do professionally, you should be naming the relevant skills and not the hobby.

Why I put World of Warcraft on my resume Symantec's chief operating officer, Stephen Gillett, has an impressive resume that includes executive stints at Starbucks, CNET and Best Buy. He's also a level 70 paladin and priest with a particular focus on healing abilities.

When I applied for my job I brought a folder that contained some excertps from my earlier work, and a couple of things about me, like photos from stage performances and some Arduino things I built. Basically the interview consisted of my boss flipping through the thing for two hours and wanting to know everything. He's a really cool dude tho and his behavior might be more reflective of that than my mad CV skills

Last time I was looking for a job, I put down "Time Person of the Year 2006" and "Nobel Peace Prize winner 2012" under accomplishments. 2006 was the year Time had a gimmick "you" as the winner, and 2012 the year the Nobel Peace Prize was given to "European Union" (where I leave and therefore am a part of). It came up during the interview and I ended up getting the job.
