Where d'ya Think Those Skills Came From?
Mariah’s “Pagan Resume”
Practical and Spiritual Skills and Experience
It’s ironic that much of my community-organizing and leadership experience and skills have been developed in the Pagan community, and as a result, will likely never see the light of my resume. So in an effort to document my own life, for anyone in the Pagan community who cares to know and for any Pagan-friendly employers that I may run across here’s a first draft of my “Pagan Resume”:
Community Organizing and Leadership Experience
Speaking Experience
Spiritual Training
*Note: Though I was the webmistress, and tried my best to maintain the UPS website, I do not really have web skills. I only did it because the president asked me to do it, and there was no one else! I’m not trying to representing myself as having them, just mentioning the position for the full record.
I'd be curious to see other people's Pagan/Metaphysical resumes, mine is peanuts compared to some of y'all's. But I'm yet a young'un.
