To whom it may concern,
With 30+ years of hands-on copy editing and proofreading experience, I can say – unequivocally – that I have a meticulous eye for detail, I am well organized, I have an exceptional work ethic, and I possess excellent written and oral communication skills. I have a deep knowledge of grammar and composition, and I understand the vital importance of being aligned with brand voice, tone, and messaging. In fact, in my current position, I develop and maintain style guides for several SMB and IT Enterprise companies across the U.S., ensuring our creatives are always up to date and on point.
As the only editor at The Odigo Group, I work closely with our writers, graphic designers, project managers, and SEO strategists. We are a solid, cohesive team, and together, we produce top-quality materials that meet our clients’ online and print needs and demands. We work seamlessly with partners across a wide array of industries to improve and enhance their print, online, and video deployments. Although we don’t develop podcasts at The Odigo Group, we do create videos for our clients, and I edit the scripts before filming and, again, once production is complete. I would very much like to discuss this Content Editor opportunity with Rise25, as well as other editing or proofreading positions you may have in the future. A part- time position would be perfect for me.
To schedule an interview, please call me at 360-***-****. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I look forward to talking with you.
Sincerely,
Louise Morgan
