What job/occupation do you do?

[Mahsa Tezani]

Sorry, was not trying to be arrogant! Can't Audacity be a quality? Serious. Aim high, not low...

Then why did you have the    symbol? Sorry for the smite.

I assumed you meant something negative. I will remove the smite...

[SandraJane]

Doesn't matter how I look in terms of job hunting. But thanks for appealing to my sense of vanity.

If you're going to do fashion or entertainment it does. Even in management, and that's for cis men and women also, gotta look good!

It really does, I found that employers do look at how you present, its the first thing they see. Given your current avatar...you've got a Killer Natural Look, could you replicate that on someone else? Its like a resume, the idea is to get their attention, get an interview.

What do you want to do? I take it you live in the SF Bay Area, can you get $$'s to go back to school? The degree counts, maybe its not representative of what you REALLY know and can do ( ), but it counts. You're YOUNG!

  At this time any old odd job will do.  It is hard to find a job here if you are over 50.  I am living off of my savings and has paid everything off before I got laid off.  Some of my friends who worked with me did not.  Sadly, they are in debt.

Chief financial officer of what used to be a large commercial contractor.  I also handle safety issues.  I have not obviously transitioned, but am sure some noticed when the facial hair came off.   Five years of hormones have left me a bit "breasty" also.  This is not a good industry for transition, though the pay is (was) really good.  Have been taking courses to transition into another field that I hope will be friendlier.

Extended family have a business in Wales which I'm part of. Retail Park and residential, commercial and agricultural letting. My real trade was in jewellery design, manufacture and sales which thankfully I no longer have to do.

Teacher and doctoral student in linguistics. Pretty much surrounded by women all day every day. Funny how I used to like that idea when I was in school myself in an "all boys" school. Now it would be nice to have some men around! Oh how they are going to be dissapointed when my colleagues find out that the token man of the office ain't what she appears!
