Many job seekers forget about, or are unaware of, the need for professional touch points.  The reason for this assignment is not only to remind us of these necessary job search tools, but to encourage us to make these now rather than wait until later.

Professional Bio:

I'm a digital storyteller with plenty of plot bunnies running through my head.  It sometimes gets crowded up there.   I discovered a particular fondness for storytelling through video editing while earning my Bachelor's in Media Communications at Full Sail University.

I've been a freelance writer since 1995 writing parenting articles.  More recently I have been working on honing my fiction skills.  At present I am reworking an action/thriller novel and am partnering with my son on a fantasy novel.

Most of my working life I have experienced most aspects of retail sales.  I have owned and managed a gift shop, managed convenience stores, and have worked in a number of different roles within Walmart Corporate offices.  Through these different job experiences, I've done store planning, package design, project management, advertising and marketing strategies, product buying and replenishment.

My varied experiences add up to a strong skill set that would be advantageous in my new career path of Media Communications, preferably in video editing and storytelling for the video game industry.
