Sometimes I think running/staffing a site prepares us for various types of jobs: customer service, management positions (to a slight degree. We don't get control logs/books or have to deal with money and other heavy responsibilities, etc. XD I mean more handling/managing others), advertisement firms (those video games, movies, and books you love so much: someone's gotta advertise them), web design (if you make your own skin), story planning (video games, author, animation, etc.), merchandise design (at some sites I staffed at, we had to come up with new limited edition event items), etc.

|: Of course, I'm also making it out to be bigger than it is, but we do kind of dabble in the shallow puddles of a lot of things. XD

Maybe I'd actually put it on my resume if I could handle the mere idea of talking about roleplaying in an interview without the sudden urge to astral project myself into the sun.

honestly i'd hard second this sentiment if it weren't for the fact that, for me, roleplaying kind of has been my job due to my personal living situation. is it ideal to have it listed on my resume? no. it terrifies me having to list it. but i'd like to think it's taught me a lot of skills to try to actually find a real job in customer service and management stuff, so in a sense, i'm not going to turn it away when it actually conveys that i do have skills, they're just not in anything i can necessarily verify the same way i could by calling a previous place of employment.
