Escorting a resume?

[ChrisWydeman]

So I am working on grad school applications this weekend and I need to submit my resume. I have worked as an escort for 3 years and its offered a lot of insight into human behavior so I feel that its relevant. Whats a creative way to say escort on a resume? While I have no shame in what I do there are others who might not look to kindly on it when applying to college.

Personal trainer?

[+ deej]

Consultant or counselor always works.

 

Lifestyle consultant, personal interaction counselor, etc.

 

It's actually what you've been doing so it isn't dishonest.

Personal coach. Trainer is good, but you do much more than work out the physical dimension, don't ya?

 

Get yourself a sh!tooad of coaching books and you will be conversant in minutes considering your intellect (not that I have been paying attention )

sexual intimacy counselor?

It sounds cheesey, but perhaps "Life Coach"? If Bob Basile (bb porn performer Jim Ferro) can claim it as a profession on his personal training website, I don't see why you cannot....

Does it require any licensing though?

[+ sam.fitzpatrick]

Yes, there are some terms that would require licensing.

 

How about model?

I don't know if "life coaching" requires a credential...I have never heard of anyone getting one.

When I looked into doing life coaching a few years ago there was no licensing requirement in the State of California. There are training courses in coaching, but no license. You could call yourself a "Life Coaching Consultant."

 

There are a few life coaching schools that offer synopses of their classes. I'll bet you could glean enough from the information available online to describe your theoretical approach to life coaching.

May I suggest:

 

"2012 to present Professional Whore (references available upon request)"

 

It leaves itself open to a whole WORLD of interpretations......grin

But he didn't work in a bank!

I think "Life Coach" is great. You could also work somehow into your background being a mentor. I'm sure you have help many a man achieve an ultimate goal.

He may not have work in a bank but did make large deposits and withdrawals

Self Employed Personal Care Assistant Or Sexual Surrogate

[+ Keith30309]

Several good suggestions above, but something about which you could talk for 60 seconds if asked "Tell me how your experience as an _______ might contribute to your success as a graduate student."

[+ glennnn]

You didn't mention what field you will study in grad school. Any help there to tailor a job title for your recent employment? Business Admin? Drama? Counseling? Finance? Health Care? Kinesiology? You have experience in all of these. What is your field of graduate study?

[Zman]

Handyman? Good with tools and working with your hands?

[+ deej]

Does it require any licensing though?

 

There's no certification or licensing for "consultant" of any sort. If you say you are one well, then, you are one.

 

It's one of life's dirty little secrets.

Whatever term you use, be prepared with a response to the request for references, especially if the description fits into your area of study. Either have some trusted clients who would be comfortable providing appropriate, truthful feedback or a valid reason that they are not available.

Hi Chris,

 

I would recommend that you never put something on your resume that you can not honestly defend and talk about with some authority. You will find yourself across the desk from an astute interviewer asking you to explain, in detail, the item on your resume (what training did you have? what methodologies did you use? who were your clients? will they provide a reference? etc,). People who review lots of resumes have developed strong BS detectors and will be suspicious.

 

Using Consultant, Counselor or Life Coach will not work. These titles without further description and a way to back them up are meaningless and will come across as total BS. Maybe, if there's a massage component to your escorting services, you could use Masseur. Otherwise, it might be better to leave your escorting work off the resume.

 

Escort

 

Maybe stating your work, exactly as it is, is the way to go? Who knows... you may encounter some enlightened and open minded people in college admissions. Having worked as an escort will certainly make you stand out.

There is no license for "life coach." Anyone can use the term. I think that's a good idea.

I am up shits creak if I can't put it on my resume a 3 year gap of employment isn't good and I need one professional reference. While I can't put escort I do need to put something otherwise I can't apply to many universities.

 

I am going into mental health if that gives you any suggestions on creative titles.

That last comment gives me an idea....what area are you going to specialize in?
