    Default Applying for a corporate job at Pornhub. What should I call myself on my resume?

    Ever since I started in sex work almost a decade ago, I didn't want to ever work in an office again. The exception was always Pornhub (or rather, its parent company), which happens to be based in the city I now live. I'm applying for one of their social media/marketing positions and also have an employee reference. I'm very qualified and have everything they're looking for, except I don't know what to call myself on my resume. I'm quite open about the fact that I'm an online dominatrix and figured that since it's a porn company, they won't mind that I'm a sex worker (which means I should be able to call myself whatever I feel comfortable with?)...but my husband said that maybe it's better if I don't call myself that. He told me I should use "Niteflirt Provider," which is nowhere near all of what I do. I'd like to highlight the fact that I'm a boss at entrepreneurial marketing and know how to get and keep quality targeted Twitter followers as well as having a high rate of engagement, and calling myself a Niteflirt provider would be doing myself a disservice.

    Should I just take the plunge and call myself an Independent Online Dominatrix like I was thinking of, or is that crazy? Do you have any suggestions/opinions?

    Just because its a porn company doesn't mean they are going to jump up in arms and be happy to have you. sometimes working for a company related in your industry can be the worst ones to work for.

    Experience one was applying to work in porn alley in my city the other was working for phone sex company that also runs the major dating chat line services.

    I learned that experience when I was going to work what my city calls porno alley. Where a bunch of the industries affiliate companies and even naked news all host their office and host industry parties.

    You have to appear even more vanilla in their job interview. So you pretty much have to list the skills and job title it as entertainer or independent contractor - self employed something.

    or you list it in other skills on your resume with no direct job title.

    I would say go with your husbands idea. Not because you should be ashamed but because A) It creates a talking point. They have to ask you questions about it and then you can show how your proud and what sort of benefit that will bring to the position, and B) Because it shows that you can be discreet when if the situation calls for that.

    I wouldn't. If you're applying for social media position your title and experience should highlight that. If theY asked I'd be honest cause they could research and find out and not good to get caught in lie.

    Hmmm a lot of companies do background checks so you may just want to be honest and say you are self employed. If they ask than you can tell them what you do.

    You can still highlight all of your relevant accomplishments on your resume regardless of what you call yourself. In addition to the points others have made, personally I'd keep your title as neutral as possible so the focus is on your skills rather than on you being a dominatrix. In the end, it's still an office, and being an online dominatrix doesn't add to your candidacy in any way -- the marketing you do is, and that's what you should focus on.

    Thank you all very much! I've decided to go with just "Independent Contractor" and then write relevant experience in the bullet points underneath.
