M. L. M. | Paladin Chicago Candidate
Editor/Writer/Proofreader
Available For:
Direct Hire, Temp-to-Perm
Ideal Position:
My ideal position would involve being a member of a devoted communications team that uses both print and Web vehicles to produce and/or disseminate accurate and well-written information, either for the benefit of other businesses or consumers.
Ideal Environment:
My ideal environment would be professional yet fairly casual and relaxed, and one in which a spirit of cooperation and good humor among employees is fostered.
Past Experience:
Most recently, produced a company magazine - gathering content, dealing with authors and printers, writing and editing copy, supervising graphic-design staff, etc. Also generated and disseminated press releases, produced membership directories and foundation financial reports, and contributed to the company Web site and e-newsletters.
Currently:
My most recent major project involved initiating and leading the graphic redesign of the company magazine, resulting in much positive feedback from the readership on the magazine's fresher, more contemporary look. At the same time, I renegotiated the company's convention-program contract with the program's printer, reducing printing costs by 40%.
