How to write experience with zine, secret santa, writing projects etc. to your resume

All work is work. All work is valid to your resume. You have deadlines to follow, you have to manage your own time, you have specific requirements you need to respect and if you are in the mod team you have to organize, market, manage etc.

Here’s guide how to add hobby projects into your resume as a work experience, as that’s what it is. I will concentrate on zine experience as modern zines are pretty much professionally made and organized projects, whether the result is a printed or a PDF book.

General tips

- Always add international there, as all online projects WILL have people all around the world (unless it’s a very underground fandom project). Even if you had just one foreigner there, it’s an international project. Sounds fancy and resume’s purpose is to make mundane things sound really fancy.

- If it’s a fanfic zine, you can use a novel anthology.

- If possible, add the number of participants. It’s a really good polish to your reputation if you can say that you organized a project with 60 international participant than just say you organized a random event.

- For Secret Santa and other non-zine events, you can use these same examples. I have written to my resume Secret Santa event hosting as “Event organizer, an international online art project with 100 participants, 2022″.

- Your drawing and writing time is work, too. You can utilize these in your resume.

- You CAN and SHOULD act as each others’ referee in resume and work application from events and zines! Includes beta readers and their work!

Beta reading: Proofreading, communications, 2022, an international art book project.

How to Tell More About Your Fandom Project(s) To Normal People

If you are asked to tell more about the project you participated in, don’t worry. You don’t have to start to explain what a zine is, what shipping is, why these characters are kissing steamily, or why the fic you wrote was explicit hurt-comfort otp fic.

You can simply use general terms: Zine = a book or an anthology project. Secret Santa = an online art or writing project Fan video = a full video made for purpose X by editing or drawing fully.

“I participated as an artist/author to a zine of my OTP and drew/wrote this kind of art of them” = I participated in an international art book project/anthology book project. I applied and was selected from many applicants*. The book was put together in X month by multiple people and it was printed. I’m familiar with print requirements, time management, following dead lines and managing my own work.”

*If there was no application process but the event was open for all, you don’t have to speak about the application process at all. If asked, you can say that the event called for artists/authors and I decided to join in.

What you want to emphasis, no matter what you did, is that you can manage your own time, you can follow dead lines and you can follow given requirements. You wouldn’t believe how much there are people at paid jobs who can’t manage their time, hassle with dead lines and require lots of guidance. If you can honestly do something you are asked by a deadline given by the needed requirements - like write a 1500 word fic in 3 months - that IS an asset! You DID manage your time, manage yourself and respected the dead line. As remote work is increasing in many fields, employees who can do those three important things are gold nuggets to companies.

If you are in a mod position, you want to emphasis that you can lead and manage projects, communicate with everyone, keep up with dead lines and schedules, organize, and think also what risks might appear and how to prevent or handle them (like in zine; how many artists/authors might drop out and what do we do in that case?).

What every business and employer needs, no matter what the field, is good communication, proofreading, social media management and marketing, content creators, graphic designs, web designs, and marketing materials.

And those, my friends, are what every single zine project and fandom event contains.

I’ve been doing work experience at Atlassian since Monday and it’s been awesome so far! I’m on the automation team (i.e the IFTT-esque automation system that’s usable in Jira, Confluence etc) for the week.

Monday was mostly getting my computer and dev environment set up, but I learned heaps about company processes and standards along the way. I also attended the team’s daily standup which is an interesting tradition at software companies, it seems to be helpful in making sure everyone’s on the same page at the start(ish) of each day. The view is amazing and I can (almost sorta) see my school from where I sit which is pretty cool. Lunch was diy sandwiches with every possible ingredient under the sun, courtesy of the free cafeteria (!!!)

I was there essentially 9-5 which I’m gonna be honest I’m entirely unfamiliar with but it actually flies by doing interesting things (cough. school)

100 days of productivity 24/100

^ Won a couple games of Jack Change It in study!!

Made some notes, did the coursework for my online work experince (which is on tomorrow... bleh) and that's about it. Didn't study today because my friend (who was away the last 2 days) called and we talked for 40 mins, I procrastinated, and went to see a house with my parents, then did the work experince coursework.

Not too bad of a day. Not busy but not lazy either. Somewhere in the very grey area. Still, I've got to get back into routine and keep my habits up too.

Also I've got some questions from the How Deep Will You Go card game and I'm going to show my friend some of those questions tomorrow morning!! (Some of those are DEEP)

Here's a teaser for you: (tw: mention of death)

Level 1: Icebreakers

Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

Level 2: Confessions

What's your most treasured memory?

Level 3: Getting Deep

What is the worst non-physical pain you've ever felt?

WORK EXPERIENCE UPDATE.

I have officially completed my 30 hours of work experience! I apologise that I barely posted about it but i have been having severe problems with Tumblr in that my posts wont post.

I completed four programmes in total, the programmes being broadcast media, psychology, law and journalism. I enjoyed doing these programmes and have gained a better knowledge of the sectors.

if I ever even think about working with children under 13 again I’m going to need to be hit round the head.

the amount of energy that I have been drained of just in a week of work experience at my old primary school is insane and feels genuinely damaging to my mental health.

if I ever say I’m going to work with kids again, I need some one to shake me.

My Permenant Job @ Deloitte was unfairly terminated with immediate effect Within Few Months - Refugee Says!

"I joined #Deloitte as a business support analyst. This was after several years of excitement and several attempts across nearly 5 years to secure a role within their team or any role within my discipline.

Each attempt took me days to practice & seek support to prepare for the process & not to mention the frustration after being unsuccessful.

The role is for school leavers and I have a degree in #Accounting & #Finance from #CardiffMetropolitanUniversity & I am overqualified for the role.

After a few weeks @ Deloitte in #Cardiff office, I held a ten minutes online meeting with #HywelJones just to introduce myself and then I was told to not approach him again at all.

After a few weeks, I realized that someone is unhappy with my presence with the team and start causing indirect disruption to me. The following have been noted during just the first two months:

1- Some of my works were deliberately deleted & I proved to them, I have done the work,

2- Enormous pressure by the team leader, #MeganRelph, and another person U2,

3- Singled me out on a daily basis

4- Provided incorrect instructions

6- Prolonged meeting around 60 minutes for a very basic thing, 60 minutes of repetition for the same thing

7- I was asked to send my completed work to new joiners who were 2 -3 weeks in Deloitte to peer review my work

8- Extremely low or no work were assigned to me and I was actively helping others,

In the end, I realized all the above were set up for dismissing me. One or all of the following three people together set up the #unfairdismissal process: Hywel Jones, Meg Relph, and #JosieHancox.

I received a call from #CatherineParsons states the following:

1-“Deloitte does not have 24/7 support to support you”

2-“You are defensive and do not take feedback on board”

2-“I have my own people I fully trust,

3-“I trust them and what they reflected about you is correct"

4-“I will not discuss anything or do not want to hear anything from you"

I expressed my concerns to a director through the confidential #speakup platform and told her, "No matter what I do, it seems a matter of weeks for my dismissal with full of baseless accusations".

I collected feedback from requesters who I done work for them. One of them wishes to receive the same service from my team next time for her upcoming tasks.

I left no stone unturned to keep myself in the role and provided them with several #mitigatingcircumstances, but could not stop their unfair dismissal.

For those who did not hear about #Deloittevalues on social media before:

Serve with integrity,

Take care of each other,

Foster inclusion,

From my experience, I saw the complete opposite of the above.

Twenty Third Week of Year 10

Both went alright and I found out I got a grade 9 for my English Language mock! And then on Friday I had work experience at a local college which was super fun. Anyways, stay tuned for some more posts!

100 days of productivity 11/100

Quick one before I get into the shower. Did an hour of maths revision and I started the homework but I'll continue to work on it tomorrow morning. I also finished all my physics notes (finally! 🥹)

My evening turned a bit productive because I ranted to my friend (it was good for the both of us) and now I'm feeling much better and she dropped an amazing quote in the middle of that I want to share with youse:

"Take your time when you know you have it" -K

I'm didn't really follow my time blocked schedule today and I think it's good, it can help you be really productive but I think I'll be using it more as a guide than a proper schedule. Oh and we got talked to a bit more in school about in-person work experience, haven't gotten an email back yet from a company, but my dad got talking to his dentist today so I think I'll be going into there (not technically formal work xp) for the day. (Also dentistry does require biology as an ALevel which I don't do and the fight is back from when I first picked my subjects almost a year ago.. oh well, I might not like it anyways or do it in my 40s if I really still want to 🙃)
