Custom Resume
Added 2024-12-27 15:00:08 +0000 UTCIt started as an experiment. Dan was frustrated in his job hunt, so he made a “female” version of his resume and resubmitted it to make a point about DEI. To his surprise, “Danielle” got a video interview. His wife helped him with makeup and sat for it, assuming his voice would tank his chances.
Amazingly Danielle got a job offer! Dan’s dream job and more than he had ever made. It was a remote position, so what was the harm with a little makeup for video calls once a week?
After 2 months, Corporate issued a 5 day a week return to office mandate. Dan couldn’t afford to lose the job so he was now Danielle 5 days a week.
The company had progressive trans-friendly health benefits and a clinic in the office, to keep up the charade, Danielle was reporting every week for her endocrine tests and hormone shots.
Now it’s been a year, Danielle just got promoted, HR took care of her legal transition, her wife is more of a roommate and friend than a lover and Employee Health services keeps trying to schedule her bottom surgery. It has all been a crazy ride and Danielle doesn’t know how to get off!
