Don't have any experience? Nonsense! Everybody writes, from the notes you send with your holiday cards to lists you make before grocery shopping. You probably don't realize how much you write in a given week. In so doing, you are likely adjusting your writing depending on the subject or audience. When you send a note to school with your child, you're writing in a certain style that's likely different than a note you'd send to a relative. This is exactly what writers do ... they alter their writing content based on their subject or audience. So who says you can't write for a living? There's no end to the kind of writing you can do. However, we do have a few suggestions for you to get started thinking about a career, part-time or full, in the writing field. As you review these pages, some idea may jump off the page as something you could do. Great! More importantly, don't think because you're never had a writing lesson that you can't do it. All it takes is practice, practice, practice and a determined desire to get it right. If you're got the drive, writing may well be your career. RESUME WRITING -- FOR OTHERS! Nearly everyone, at one time or another, has written a resume in preparations for a job search. So why not start there? How many times have you done your own resume? If you've written it at least once, think of all the other people who have sat down to attempt it. What an endless list of possible clients! Not matter how large or small the town in which you live, hundreds and even thousands of people are in need of resumes. People change jobs a lot today, through their own wishes or due to circumstances beyond their control like a downsize, merger, buy-out or similar business adjustment. Besides, people don't often keep their resumes up to date. So, we've established the need -- resumes for people. Now, can you write them? Why not? If you haven't done your own lately, do it now! Practice on yourself. There are a number of books that offer help in formatting a "Modern" resume that you can check out at your local library or bookstore. There are employment resumes which lists your experience by positions you've held. There are also functional resumes which lists your qualifications by skill, with your employment history listed at the end but of lesser significance to the overall message you're trying to send, which is "hire me!"
