[Hailee24]

What kind of "job tittle" will you put down on a resume that is not "web cam model " and that does not scream to a potential employer "she was doing porn and took her clothes off for money" :lol:
I'm looking for something that Is more general and not a deal breaker for a career like nursing, teacher etc…
I have come up with web costumer server, chat host and web host. but all sound like crap!!

If I was camgirl, my resume for the job would look something like this. The stuff in bracket is just an explanation.

Self-Employed Internet contractor. Designed and executed marketing campaigns to drive paying customers to my storefront on an international web sales-of-services platform. [I’d call a camsite an ebay of services] Increased monthly sales by X% in N months [your beginning camming income compared to your peak income.] Top 1% in sales for Y months on website [If you made top 250 you are in the top 1% of MFC sales] Made extensive use of social networks, including twitter, instagram, tumblr [whatever you used] to reach new customers and drive traffic. Reached a peak of X,000 twitter followers [or whatever your most impressive social network stat is]. Customized my storefront using HTML and CSS [If applicable] including creating graphics.... [add a blurb about whatever art or multimedia]. Developed promotions and customer acquisitions and retention programs [raffles, games, and clubs respectfully].
Provided email and chat-based costumer support.

There are actually a lot of valuable business skills you pick up camming and I'd definitely highlight them on a resume. People do get fired for lying on a resume and this is 100% truthful, if deliberately vague as to what you sell at your storefront.

Now what you say at interview is up to you, but the purpose of the resume is to get an interview.

Also, signed a confidentiality agreement with the former employer so you can't go into to many details.
Or taxi driver for a small town. Used your own car.
Commercial produce grower. Sold to local markets as a 'fresh homegrown' alternative for their customers.

Basically anything where you were your own boss is hard to prove you wrong.

Don't worry too much about lying on a resume. You're worried they won't hire you if you tell the truth. Well the worst that could happen if they even bother to check out your resume, which doesn't really happen often, is they fire you. Big whoop, either way you don't have the job. So there's no loss and only potential gain.

As someone who has interviewed hundreds of job applicants over the years I would recommend keeping it as simple and as close to the truth as possible. ie. modeling or acting. "I gave it a shot and it just didn't work out" everyone can understand that sort of thing. Web Customer Server or Chat Host and the like would lead to more follow up questions, about what that job entailed. You would most likely be evasive answering those questions and that is a huge red flag to any employer.
Good Luck.

No matter what you put on your resume, just remember this one rule of thumb... The more impressive the job title is, the less they check!
I'll try to think of some good ones for ya after i get back from taekwondo. Good luck.

Edit: Also keep your resume to just one page, make sure it's easy to read with bullet points, and something to make it "pop", ya know, kinda' stand out from all the rest.
Employers will be looking through a stack of different resumes, and if it looks like it's gonna be a lot of reading, they'll most likely just pass it over. To help insure it catches their eye, I like to put a water mark some where around the top. And make sure it's printed on nice resume paper. Not the regular printer paper.

I went with Consultant recently. It worked fine with the application board; not so much with the judge in bankruptcy court. "Who exactly were you "consulting" Ms. Penny? He asked....Good times!

I remember one model mentioned Web Hostess.

Seriously this is fucking brilliant. I never plan to get straight work again, and I've vowed to be self-employed forever, but if I ever did get bored and want part time sales work again, got DAMN!!!

This is good even if I just want to volunteer reading books to blind people.

Thanks.

I think what to put on the resume depends a lot on how long you were camming and what type of job. If you were only camming for 3 months than modeling/acting is probably ok. I definitely wouldn't use something like Taxi cab cause its to easy to check, something like Uber driver would better . On the other hand if you have been camming for a couple of years, than that is a pretty huge resume gap for a young person. I think it would be a mistake to completely run away from it unless the job is one involving children in which case I think you have troubles no matter what. The things you do on camera are directly applicable in the entertainment field, but also apply to most sales jobs. Virtually everything you off camera is valuable to almost any business, especially small business. For example you decide to start making more fetish clips. Figuring out what to make involves market research, competitive analysis (I wouldn't want to make a fucking a dildo while on swing clip if Aspen Rae had 6 clips out there), pricing, and where to sell it (distribution). Not a set skills that average 20 something or even 50 something has a clue how to do, anymore than you did when you were first starting off camming.

IMO, some of the camgirls are absolutely brilliant when it comes to using social media. Obviously the reason that many of you have more followers than many large companies is because you post hot pictures but it is more than that it is adding a personality. I interact with a fair number of entrepreneurs a couple of whom are the same age as the average camgirl. I've also talked to a number of marketing consulting claiming to be social marketing experts. In most cases i rather hire a camgirl to do a social media job than either one.

Now what type of euphemism you use when you are in interview to avoid bringing up that what people are primarily paying for is watching you masturbate on cam is pretty damn hard.
But if you can focus on what skills you can transfer from being self employed to the business, you maybe able to get relatively open minded folks to give you a shot and job that isn't minimum wage.

Also just keep in mind that with enough research future employers can find out what you did. If you want to be a teacher or something with children in the future, then long term cam modeling might not be for you. There will always be a stigma associated with adult work, and one thing you have to keep in mind when becoming a web cam model is that it will follow you for the rest of your life.
