Response to your ad for an intelligent, responsible employee.
My preference would be to work approximately 24 hours per week. I would be
available before April 1. I have the background to enhance your sales and research as desired by your clients.
Below are my credentials as a communicator, manager, news researcher, producer, reporter and writer. I researched numerous stories as part of my responsibilities for Voice of America (VOANEWS.COM); I was a vice president of Newseek; VP of news for NBC; trainer for three presidential candidates (overseas) and a producer of political documentaries and commercials.
I left government service 18 months ago. I was bureau chief for Voice of America in New York and a correspondent and contributor of reports for our international web service.
I spent considerable time doing research as part of the development of interesting and varied reports. I did several stories at the Exchanges, worked with several key people on Wall Street as part of required analysis and context.
Below is my resume in greater detail. Thank you.
