Yes.
Should I include my involvement with Eden on a job application for a sex shop?

The more experience you have helping others select toys, the more they'll be inclined to hire you. Go for it!

I think It wouldn't hurt. You could just say that you have reviews adult toys or your have extensive knowledge in them. I wouldn't necessarily mention it was EF.

If you consider what you do here relevant to your job, yes

Definitely this. Don't put it on paper, but do let them know that you know your shit.

Why? Because like Lauren hit on, eden is their competition. Most sex stores have a no competition clause. Plus, if you buy a product at their store with your employee discount then write a review on it, they can come after your job because you are profiting (affiliate sales and such) from a product you got from them.
Now, like everyone before me has said, it is a very valuable piece of information and one that will definitely help you get the job. So when you turn in your resume/application, ask to speak to the hiring manager. Tell him/her that you left off some experience you had because you weren't sure where it fit. THEN explain you've been a reviewer/etc. This way it is verbal, not written down. Show off your skills, start talking about the newest products or about toy safety. This is all stuff that you know that they will save training time on.
The experience is definitely an asset, just don't resume it. less

If you feel it will be beneficial to getting the job. If you feel that it will not help you, then you have to decide if it is worth it to you.
03/28/2012
yes i would.
03/29/2012
I would, too. Hope the shop you're applying for doesn't have a theatre. That would be very... not fun to clean.

I thought this was a GREAT idea, too. The management loved my resume, but said working with or for EF was a conflict of interest.

I feel like I am really experienced with sex toys and anything sex related because I've been hanging around here at Eden since 2008!In that time I have collected quite a bit of knowledge! So, I think it would be a really good point to include that in my application to give me a better chance of getting the job.
Would this be the wrong thing to do?
If you think it would be a good idea, how would you incorporate that into your application/interview? less

Yes! Actually, I was talking to someone at the local WorkSource about this recently! She had a print out for a sex toy shop and I was telling her about the experience I have in sex toys and she stressed to me that I SHOULD put that on there. It puts you a leg up from others.
