Write Off The Page

Working as a freelance writer, I'm often asked by people exactly what I do. Well it's simple: I write for other people. I could give you a detailed list of services that I offer. However, I've found that it's often best to ask people what they need. Because sometimes writing doesn't appear to be the immediate need. I'll give you an example.

Confidence Is Key

The past two months have been crazy! I'm relaunching this blog, working with a new client and I've been coach to some others who are searching for a better opportunity. One thing I must say that has been impressed upon me over the past few weeks is the importance of confidence. Credentials are great, but if you can't confidently communicate your value and what you bring to the table you won't have a successful interview.

Actually confidence begins before your interview. Your resume tells people a lot about you, and if you are vague and downplay your accomplishments, chances are you won't be called for an interview. If you flood your resume with minute details of every thing you've ever done, you may give a potential recruiter the impression that you are not qualified or savvy enough for a position. The important thing is to be confident in your abilities on paper and in person.
