Communications Specialist Resume
May 10th, 2008 | By Ara | Category: Odds & SodsNote: Recently, I was intrigued by a job opening for a Content Management Specialist at a global media company. Here’s the cover letter I put together and below that you can see the actual resume I submitted.
Dear ___________,
I would love to explore some of the possibilities we spoke about because nothing is more exciting to me than connecting a hungry audience with the content they crave.
My experience in content management systems goes back to days in the early 90’s when we used to use Windows Notepad to create web pages. Moving on from there, I started a series of electronic newsletters in 1995 on different niche topics. I sold ads for each issue which was a pretty bold move in those days. When blogs took off in 2002, I transferred my output to Blogger, Movable Type and finally WordPress.
Currently, I manage a network of over a dozen advertiser-supported blogs in various niche topics. I have written nearly 100 original articles for the niche-blogs in my network.
Since the days when we began to sell ads, I have used the following promotional methods successfully to grow traffic for my network:
- Search engine optimization (SEO)
- Pay-per-Click (PPC) advertising
- Adsense optimization
- Social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
- Press releases
I should also tell you that I subscribe to nearly 200 RSS feeds via Google Feedreader in order to stay on top of fast changing trends in this business.
I am socially networked to the max. Comments to my blogs are delivered to my email. I often tweet blogposts directly from my cellphone. I even met my wife on eHarmony!
In my spare time, I create Internet videos (you can see some of them on my site). A couple of years ago I got a real thrill when one of my videos got airtime on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report!
Lastly, I’ve been told that I am one of the rare techy geeks who have terrific social skills and good, common sense.
Hopefully all of this fits in with what you’re looking for and might be a big plus for you.
