I NEED SOME FEEDBACK FROM POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS.
PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT MY RESUME.

I am looking for challenging positions with companies or clients, where I can bring my technical writing,  word processing,  copyediting,  desktop publishing,  web page,  and  proofreading skills to benefit the company.   Virtual assistant means that I accomplish the work on my own computers,
from my home,  aka telecommuting.

I have had my own personal computer since 1978,   my own website since Fall of 1995.   I have done a lot of web pages,   about 20mb.   I have done some pages to help sell my products,   and some are just for self-expression.
