Positions Held
August 2010 - Present, HR Representative/Head Marketing Writer

I worked as a Human Resources Rep. for roughly two years, before moving to writing. As an HR
rep., I tracked employees’ donations through HR software; processed vacations and FSA claims;
helped edit office procedures and policies; and helped administer medical and dental benefits. I
also wrote safety manuals and procedure manuals. I conducted orientation for interns and new
staff and ran background checks on potential employees. I am very proficient with Microsoft
excel and other Microsoft programs.
As a writer at Gospel for Asia, I created and edited a variety of materials, including video
treatments, web content, catalogs, brochures, advertisements, inserts, mailers, feature stories and
profiles.
February 2006 - August 2010, Staffing Coordinator; HR

I was in charge of scheduling the nursing staff for a 120-bed convalescent hospital, including
processing vacations and conducting orientation for new staff. I handled leaves of absences, on-
site injuries (worker’s compensation) and other related absences. I also analyzed applications to
find qualified candidates, including scheduling interviews and informing applicants if they were
hired or not.
I administered payroll as needed, using Kronos software, and I also helped order supplies for the
hospital.
