Mainstream Resume Building for Sex Workers

What to do? You're a stripper, and it's time to move on to a more mainstream profession. You dust off your resume, but then it becomes clear that it's printed on an 8" x 10" glossy photo of you naked and wrapped around a pole.

Why can't recruiters see that your skillsets can be applied to other industries? Is it such a logical leap to note that keeping a roomful of men rapt and spending money on you is something that can translate well into any sales force? Yes. Sadly, it is.

That's why the button-downed suits at Fortune (link below) have provided former strippers with a template to turn a racy past life into a potentially new and boring one.

"She suggests that individuals need to accept their past and not show embarrassment or shame. 'If they're ashamed of it, I'm going to wonder, "why are they doing something that they are ashamed of?"'"

There are more tidbits embedded in the article, if you're interested, but we suggest the biggest scam of all: become a consultant and spew forth such nonsense for $200 an hour.
