I am a professional writer and editor. Like most well-educated, ambitious professionals of my generation and socio-economic class, I always wanted a career. From my current vantage point, it now looks like what I’ve had is a series of jobs. This isn’t a bad thing. I’ve worked in many different environments and acquired many different skills. It also facilitates my doing what all hungry job seekers in the today’s market must do: create custom resumes that speak to the requirements and preferences of each and every organization that posts an opportunity for which one may be even vaguely suited.
Above, click on any or all of my greatest hits. They have been formed in the crucible of debate over the merits and risks of the one- versus two-page resume, the chronological versus the functional account, the recitation of duties versus achievements in each position, and the printed versus the online form.
Among the more disconcerting phenomena associated with circulating these resumes broadly has been the number of pitches I get from resume consultants who want to make them over for a fee. Anyone is welcome to enter their comments and/or suggestions in blog boxes that accompany the full-page resume displays. But I ain’t gonna pay nobody to rewrite my bleedin’ resume!
What I want everyone who reads this page to know is that I can write ‘most anything you may need: blog copy, Web copy, magazine articles, book and music reviews, marketing collateral, white papers, analytic reports, technical documentation, proposals, training materials, business presentations, speeches, audio and video scripts. I’m willing to ghostwrite. I can spell and copyedit; I can format documents in Word and HTML. I can also run your editorial department, develop new editorial products, fix faulty processes, and coordinate disciplines in Web-development projects. I’m looking for freelance work, consulting contracts and—if the work were interesting and promising—a fulltime position.
