Do you put 'moderator' on your resume?

    Political activism? That would be another red flag for me. Some lad saying he’s a member of People Before Profit and a contributor to ‘Violent Revolution’ magazine would mean the CV was going straight into the shredder.
    Specifics aside, I wouldn't really care if someone wanked himself to pictures of Trump every morning or spent his weekends engaging in Antifa protests.

    If you put "political activism" on your CV, I'm going to assume that you're an insufferable asshole with loud opinions at inappropriate times, and I'm going to bin your CV.

    Sure you could just put moderator on your CV and you mightn't even be one. Unless you reveal your name on the CV and your employer can stalk your posts :rolleyes:

    Again it depends on the type of Job he is applying for. Perfectly acceptable if they are applying for a Job in a political party or a political lobbying organisation.

    Probably not ideal if he's trying to sell mortgages for KBC bank though (sorry couldn't resist!! :D).

    Oh. I see. I thought the username was meant to be ironic.

    The problem is where people see their ‘activism’ as an integral part of their identity. It indicates they have a dogmatic ideological position. So unless being sanctimonious is an advantage in a job most employers will bin that CV. Pragmatism is part and parcel of any workplace so an ideologue is not going to add much value.

    Get off the internet so! Three mins on youtube uses the power of three AA batteries.

    First they came for the socialists...

    You sound a bit backed up there, chum?

    Ah, another 2018 reg. "Chum", "Pal", "neck-bearded" and all the other moronic turns of phrase (not to mention the bitcoin posts in support of him) of JohnnyFlash/FlutterinBantam/PaddyPinty in all his incarnations. All you're missing is the "I drank 20 pints last night and Claudia Schiffer wanted me" fantasy world that's like something from Jay Cartwright in the Inbetweeners (as somebody on another thread aptly observed).
