"Me, writing an email:

I as well tend to use them in a bit more professional situations as well.
I want to show off as a relaxed person who doesn't take even work that seriously!

on my résumé I substitute the bullet points with emojis to ensure I stand out from other applicants, and so the hiring managers know what a pleasant fun person I am.
