When applying for a job, there are certain things that are a given, such as checking your resume for spelling and grammar mistakes, making sure all your contact details are correct and looking presentable for the interview. Well, as obvious as they may seem, not everyone knows these basic facts, as proved in an AskReddit thread where employees revealed the weirdest and stupidest things they've seen on job applications. Scroll through and laugh in disbelief.

Our "Female Artist of the Week" feature serves to draw attention to female content creators who are shaking up the world and making a difference with their art. We're all about women supporting women and providing a platform to showcase the incredible female talent out there. This week, we were lucky to grab some time with Tall N Curly, the 6 feet tall cartoonist and blogger with extremely curly hair. Her comics are all about the daily struggles of a tall girl living with curly hair and she aims to promote the message of self-acceptance, love, and body confidence, no matter what you look like, or how much you stand out from the crowd. Tall N Curly (who prefers to keep her identity anonymous), opened up to us about why she started her blog and the positive impacts she hopes and believes her cartoons are making.
Our "Female Artist of the Week" feature provides a platform for and shines a spotlight on a talented female artist whose content deserves to be shared with the world. This week we're so excited to feature Donna Adi, an incredibly talented artist and creative director from Los Angeles, whose viral content combines vibrant illustrations with lifestyle and fashion photographs. Her incredible talent and breathtaking artwork have allowed her to work with major companies such as Puma, Google, and Michael Kors, to create brand campaigns and events worldwide. We spent some time with Donna, who shared her creative journey with us and told us all about her exciting new projects.
Job interviews are tricky business, both for the employer and potential employee. There's a tricky balance of trying to find out as much as you can about the person you're interviewing whilst abiding by the law and sometimes, the interviewer doesn't quite get it. An AskReddit thread asked people to share the weirdest, most inappropriate, or most unexpected thing you were asked during a job interview and some of them are truly unbelievable and definitely illegal. Check them out below.
Each week we bring you a talented female artist who produces incredible quality content and this week, we've picked Adrienne Hedger, the artist behind Hedger Humor. The Southern Californian artist's cartoons are based on "the ridiculous, dramatic and exhausting situations that make life interesting and fun", but the current quarantine life we all find ourselves in has given her a whole lot more to be creative about. Adrienne spoke to us all about how she finds inspiration for her cartoons, her creative process and how they actually help take her mind off other things.
Once you've enjoyed a selection of her brilliant creations below, check out last week's female artist of the week in case you missed it.

CBS This Morning's Gayle King spoke with R. Kelly in his first television interview since the R&B singer was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in Illinois. In the interview, Kelly exploded with anger and denial, breaking into tears, raising his hand, and exclaiming that previous accusations of sexual abuse were not relevant to his current case. The early clip and images posted by King on Instagram showed the CBS host calmly and persistently attempting to get answers from Kelly, in spite of his outbursts. People on twitter praised her composure.
