Problem: How to reclaim your life after sexual trauma
Reframe your sexual trauma.
Perhaps on the biggest first steps to reclaiming your life is admitting you experienced sexual trauma. There is a stigma attached to sexual trauma, and it may make you feel weak or dirty. OPTIONS:
- Speaking to someone about your sexual trauma can help you to recognize and put the brakes on dealing with your trauma. Tell an adult you trust about your trauma.
- However, you are entitled to have faith that you can do it again and move on. You need to accept that you can eventually learn from this experience and change your lifestyle.
- Even though it may feel horrible, you must give your body the chance to recover and rebuild itself. This means that don't have sex, and don't have things touching your face or genitals.
- But staying silent will only reinforce your victimhood and make it more difficult to recover. Instead, you should try to reframe your experience of sexual trauma and open up about what really happened to you.

Problem: How to address a resume envelope
Follow employer instructions.
Some companies do not want to deal with hard copy resumes, and will specifically request email or other submission. If the job ad is not specific, feel free to ask for clarification. OPTIONS:
- For jobs that aren't specific about email or online only, feel free to mail your resume in anyway. It can be a concrete way to demonstrate your interest in the position beyond simply submitting your application and help you stand out in the crowd.
- As you need to be able to review company reports quickly, do so properly. Ask the role officer or project manager what authority the role managers have for the job.
- One email from a specific employer should not be more than two to three days after the formal due date. If you have just gotten a termination letter, then read the instructions carefully.
- Some companies have designed a way for you to submit your resume inside a folder as a safe place to protect your documentation. Many companies are willing to submit resumes along with job information after completing the ad, including the address of all the jobs they offer you.

Answer: For jobs that aren't specific about email or online only, feel free to mail your resume in anyway. It can be a concrete way to demonstrate your interest in the position beyond simply submitting your application and help you stand out in the crowd.
