[It's Evangeline! She's not wearing the flower she usually wears in her hair.]

Job searching seems to be a pretty popular topic here, so here's a related question: how do you write a resume and describe your skills and work experience without sounding violently unhinged?

Like I was thinking of applying to be a garbage collector, because I'm used to cleaning up dead bodies and have a high tolerance for bad smells from that. And at home 'experience with handling corpses' would be a perfectly reasonable thing to put on a job application, but I get the impression that it might be kind of a red flag here?

-Also, if you don't have any advice on that, then tell me which of these supernatural accessories says 'promising employee candidate' to you.

[She holds up a red flower with roots in one hand and a... headband of golden eyes? in the other. The look of the eyes might be familiar to people who read her last post.]

I could wear them both, and I usually would at home, but for a job interview I'm a little less concerned about power and a little more concerned about fashion.

If you went everywhere looking like that, you might be more worried about my PDA than other people's judgments.

[sangreine]

Not just you, I'd hope. Or some others I know would have some serious explaining to do. [ This form is unquestionably her most beautiful, modesty wouldn't suit it at all. ]

[abnormalizes]

I mean, if you don't mind me being one of many to throw themselves at your feet, I'm all for it.

[sangreine]

Who would possibly mind that?

[abnormalizes]

Some people are shy, I guess? Couldn't be me.

[sangreine]

Shyness is cute in its own way. Specifically, when you gently tease them.

[abnormalizes]

You're so right. It's adorable when they blush.

[sangreine]

I don't usually tease people just to get a reaction, but it's nice when it happens. [ She considers trying to get a fluster out of people to be rude, or something like it. There are exceptions, but generally speaking. ]

[abnormalizes]

Sometimes it's intentional and sometimes I just forget the stuff that comes out of my mouth can be a little much for people. I'm not good at subtlety, as you know.

[sangreine]

Subtlety is vastly overrated in my opinion.

[abnormalizes]

Right? I don't have enough time to beat around the bush.

[sangreine]

--Really? Why not? I mean I can relate, but it's not something I usually see in other people.

[abnormalizes]

My job's fatality rate is really high. 'We lose people every day' high. You kind of have to accept you could die at any time from a minor mistake or just being unlucky.

[sangreine]

Ah, I see. I'm sorry.

Believe it or not, I understand. Even immortal lives get complicated.

[abnormalizes]

I'm sorry to hear that. It's not something I'd wish on anybody else.

[sangreine]

[ She shrugs. Everything is totally, completely fine. ]

It's just how things are. Nothing I can do about it.

[abnormalizes]

I know the feeling. -And I know what it's like when people tell you to change things like it's so easy.

[sangreine]

...I'm sorry?

[ She's not seeing where that second thing came from. ]

[abnormalizes]

-sorry, personal gripe. Forget I said anything.
