Objectives

To return to the field of writing/editing/publishing where I belong. To

obtain extensive experience and knowledge in the field, eventually

rendering me an invaluable asset to any related company. To find

fulfillment in my everyday work.

Education

B.A. @ University of Massachusetts Lowell, 2004-2008

Major: English, Writing concentration

Minor: Business Administration

GPA: 3.33 / 4.00, Cum Laude Honors

Accomplishments

While at college, I helped found the school's first Creative Writing Club.

We offered a place for writers to could come and have their efforts

enthusiastically workshopped every week and do the same for others. It was

a fantastic experience, and everyone learned a lot.

Work Experience

Five grueling years at a local supermarket. Climbed my way up the corporate

ladder from disrespected peon to...older disrespected peon.

Once graduating, I landed a job as an editorial assistant for a detective

agency called Claims Bureau USA. I edited (or rewrote) reports, billed and

mailed the reports, and other miscellaneous things like book hotels and

touch base with the investigators. I enjoyed putting my degree to use, but

the overall experience wasn't a pleasant one.

I bounced around between labor jobs until finding a home at a Starbucks,

where I remain today. I can now say I have more than enough experience

working in a fast-paced environment.

Skills

I have an extremely high attention to detail as is required by an

editor/writer, and I do everything I possibly can to avoid making mistakes.

I take great care in everything I do and would much rather go slower than

make a crucial and irreparable mistake.

I am a natural sponge with whatever it is I set out/am told to do. If you

want something done a certain way, it will be done that way. I have no

reservations about asking questions in lieu of looking smart if something

is unclear or ambiguous.

Conclusion

I've had more than enough different jobs in the past four years or so, and

now's the time for me to return to where I belong. One thing having many

different jobs has granted me is the knowledge of my worth in the eyes of

my employers. Every employer I've had has loved having me on the team-not

because of my skills or abilities, but because of my obvious focus and

desire to excel. No matter the job, I always strive to be the best I can

be. It doesn't matter if I'm editing reports or stocking shelves-everything

should be done to beyond satisfaction.
