Things you do but can't really put down

I'm not really sure if you'd call it a hobby (the point is though it's something you're happy to put time into), but I like doing "simple multimedia" stuff like taking existing images and turning them into...well...whatever I need them for, like desktop themes/icons, wallpapers, custom CD/DVD labels, cropping/editing for Pazaak menu backgrounds, etc.

But the problem is that I'm not very advanced at it like some movie studio or photo touchup person, nor am I an artist who draws anything (pen or computer).

So what could you call this...if anything?

 

Similarly, I like planning/building games a lot like building houses in Sims 2, or a transport network in Transport Tycoon, or even just how I organise my desk at home :p .

 

I guess my vocabulary isn't very big to include BS excuse words like "Custodial Engineer" (janitor)

It's been a long time since I've written a resume, but I'd probably call that a 'working knowledge of (insert graphic program you use here).'

 

Something along those lines, anyway - except with a more spiffy sounding spin I guess? Graphic image editor in your spare time? :p

The one thing I wish I could put down on my resume is...

 

I can hold my right foot with my left hand in front of me and jump through it with my left leg. I can also do it holding the opposite foot. I'd like to thank Kid n' Play for this talent.

I CAN DO THAT TOO! I can also lay flat on the ground on my back, and then lift my lower body and kick up landing on my feet! :cool:

It's a hobby / interest, so (unless you are trying to pitch for a film editor's job) you can just be honest. Multimedia editing for a hobby.

Similarly, I like planning/building games a lot like building houses in Sims 2, or a transport network in Transport Tycoon, or even just how I organise my desk at home  :lol: .

That's organisational / structural modelling. Just like someone who builds working models of aircraft, only your modelling (a building, a basic ecosystem, whatever) in a virtual environment.

No need to ... employers will either:

  1. notice it and ask you wtf?
  2. notice it and decide that you are hiding something;
  3. ignore it because they have already decided to hire/pass on you based on the first few paragraphs of your curriculum vitae

The trouble with the recorder is it's way to advanced for novice musicians. A C scale flageolet is far more appropriate.

There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
