My #ImaginaryInterview Answers.
First published on LinkedIn.
In searching for a conventional job, I knew I had to address a few things about my work past.
Why I had avoided a conventional job, for instance.
But I figured it was best to be open about all of it. Put it all out there, on LinkedIn (where I was likely to be scoped out by employers).
So under the hashtag #imaginaryinterview, I set out to answer the awkward questions before they began.
This is the collection of those answers. Feel free to judge me by my answers (or add your own questions in the comments):
Can you tell me a little about yourself?
I’ve spent years specializing in content writing and social media. But I’m also a former journalist, a field I loved and was difficult for me to leave. I’m very privileged to have learned interview skills and natural SEO integration from those fields. Content systems and marketing through channels such as Pinterest also came with the territory.
Informally, I’m a baker and a long-distance walker. I also play Dungeons and Dragons, dungeon mastering a version of Midnight (a campaign originally written in the 1970s) adapting for modern combat systems.
