job search stuff, here, closets 

Hmm. Hey @Leucrotta, think a #/GetFediHired post on here would do us good?

I'd instantly think yes except like... closets. We're out here. I don't think it'd be a good idea to be out as plural and transspecies at work.

(...going back into the closet when we get a job is going to be awful either way.)

@frost Worth a try?

re: job search stuff, here, closets 

@Leucrotta Oh, good!

I was thinking of just linking to our resume – should we just only give that out if a prospective employer expresses interest?

(And it'll be weird, but I should probably use "I" throughout the post. It's not just me, but I can't SAY that! Argh!)

re: job search stuff, here, closets 

@Leucrotta ...on the other paw, maybe pretending we're not plural would be pointless, since surely they'd check my bio and I'm open there? so maybe it'd be fine to use "we"?

On the OTHER other paw that might confuse normie human recruiters.

@Leucrotta Currently writing up a "hire us" post! Drafting it with "we" throughout, because fuck it, they'll probably look at my bio anyway, unless you think that's a bad idea.

We can just switch to "I" once we start talking offsite and hope they won't notice.
