I'm open to job opportunities
RESUME
My passions lie in 3 overlapping areas: writing, educating, and applied storytelling. I have had more than 6 wonderful years of teaching college students and helping them tell their stories in business. I adore designing instruction, testing it in the classroom, and then tweaking it to make it better. When I am not lucky enough to be in the classroom, I educate through writing. My 7th book will be published in April 2009, and I’ve written hundreds of articles and other works, primarily on career management, job-hunting, college writing, and college study-skills topics.
I am also a student of and blogger about applied storytelling, a topic I became fascinated with while completing my PhD in organizational behavior. I wrote my dissertation about using storytelling in the job search, which is also the topic of my 7th book. Storytelling and career is a major topic of my blog, A Storied Career, but I’m fascinated by many other applied uses/forms of storytelling. I also believe people can change their lives by changing their stories, and I am developing workshops to help folks do that.
I hold top credentials in the career-management field – Credentialed Career Manager and Master Resume Writer, both from the Career Management Alliance. I write dazzling resumes and cover letters that help professionals tell their stories, and did so for 5 years in my resume-writing business, but it’s not a practice that’s at the center of my passions.
For me, writing is like breathing; it’s something I have to do, and I do it better than most. I have considered myself a writer since third grade.
I am at the point in my life where I have transcended organizational politics and established a joyful life, full of love, learning, freedom, and yes, hard work.
