Here’s the advice I’d offer to someone transitioning back into corporate work after a career as a dominatrix:
1. Focus on Transferable Skills: Highlight skills gained from your experience that apply to corporate roles, such as communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, emotional intelligence, leadership, and setting boundaries. These are highly valuable in many industries.
2. Reframe Your Experience: If you’re not comfortable being fully transparent, focus on describing your work in ways that align with the corporate world. For example, emphasize entrepreneurship, client management, or running a successful small business.
3. Update Your Resume and LinkedIn: Create a professional narrative. Use neutral language to describe your work experience while showing the results and value you provided (e.g., “Managed client relationships and implemented customized solutions”).
4. Upskill, If Necessary: If your corporate skills feel rusty, consider taking online courses or certifications to refresh your knowledge or learn new tools and technologies relevant to your target field.
5. Build a Narrative for Gaps: If there are gaps in your resume or you prefer not to detail certain years, craft a brief and confident explanation. Examples include “I ran a private consultancy” or “I focused on entrepreneurial ventures and personal development.”
6. Leverage Support Networks: Work with a career coach, mentor, or trusted recruiter who can guide you in tailoring your approach, building confidence, and practicing interviews.
7. Confidence Is Key: Own your story and focus on the value you bring to the table. Your unique background has shaped skills and perspectives that can set you apart in the workplace.
Everyone’s path is unique, and your ability to navigate challenges and run a successful business translates to resilience and adaptability—qualities every employer values.
