10 virtual reality skills you can add to your resume. When I'm sitting behind that director's chair and the resume pops in front of my face, one of the first things I look at are special skills. How to spell AR, VR, MR, XR and actually know what they mean. Make sure you bold the ones that you understand. Setting up a boundary so that you protect yourself, your loved ones, and your cat or dog or goldfish. Acting in virtual reality. Knowing where the microphone is so you can be heard when you are singing to your heart's desire. Make sure you're not muted. We should have learned this by now through Zoom. Understanding emotions and emoticons as you emote through your physical and virtual body. Virtual costume changes. How to be respectful of other people's boundaries in virtual reality. These do not go away just because you're wearing a headset. Teleporting through your own virtual wormhole to other worlds. Motion sickness and how you can spend more and more time in virtual reality.
