Patty just perfect article (as always)
lots of great information
(I need to research the article 'Medical Communities on the Moon' sounds intriguing)
regards Zsuzsy
Thanks Zsuzy!
This is something I must reaearch further as well.
A group of physicians in Ohio on the mid 1990s planned to form a practice to treat unmanageable blood pressure for patients in a living area and clinic to be built on the moon. The slow down in moon exploration delayed that to the point where some of thos doctors have died. Meanwhile, we know that patients with such problem blood pressure would be healthier on the moon but they may have immediate stroke on a return to earth.
Intriguing. :)
Ladies, I went there last night and they have postponed all of this until the world has recovered from the crash in the stock market.
Mr. Bush has acknowledged there is an issue in the USA and it made it worse.
No money for moon studies, any way that what was in my dream.
Getting away from the point Patty, that was an excellent hub.
Thank you
Hey Patty, lots of effective and excellent tips, thanks for a very informative hub!
Great hub Patty. This is something I can use. I am looking into freelancing. Thanks for this information.
Mrmarlade - you are SO good a friend to us on Hub pages. So joy filled and laugh-making!
Thanks so much to all other commenters. I am going to try to use some of my own tips! :)
woww great hub. pity i'm not that skilled hehehe
Keep writing, and you will be!
Great insights.
Thank you blerim! Welcome to Hub pages!
Patty!! Once again you are just the BEST!! I love just being near your Hubs in the hopes that your talent will in some way rub off in my direction!! Thank you so much for raising the bar once again!! Blessings, Earth Angel!!
I wrote freelance for a while and still do. I went around to many internet forums and wrote articles for $10-$20 a pop for a while. Never had a shortage of work. When applying for a writing job, you should show your creative side most of the time.
Thank you Earth Angel. Writing practice helps to make a better finished product.
Thanks, Archbob, for your comments.
Interest and activity of mind are two most important things to learn anything.
Practice makes man perfect so keep on writing dnt give up. once again an excellent hub with lots of useful tips.
Hi Patty,
I've had a look at a bunch of your hubs: Top stuff!
The resume writing topic is really well developed. I appreciate the part about the advantages of the combined resume. It's important to take a fresh look at our own once in a while --thanks for the reminder!
Thank you Prince Maak - I seem to be improving a bit day by day and that gives me motivation to write more. I am looking over your requests today. I am looking for the one for about UFOs and cannot see it today. I have something very good to contribute to that one!
C-Lee - Thank you very much! I enjoy your writing about juggling, which I cannot do consistently.
UFOs request was removed by moderator.
Oh, that's too bad. Another time perhaps.
The same request I made again.
I have already begun! Good luck to us both on this.
I hope your new hub float soon on HUBPAGES. Gud Luck.
An insightful article especially in time of an uncertainty with oversaturated (mostly foreclosures) housing market on the fringe, fearful recession looming around the corner resulting from credit mismanagement and massive layoffs left and right to boost stock values in order to mollify fickle shareholders.
Unfortunately, your article do not apply to everyone else. It's perfect for those poor writers still struggling on their 15th week strike. But that's OK because one can learn some new helpful tips.
I look forward to your new hub on UFOs. Thank you.
hey, I think you answered my request, but i did not get notified thru email....thanks, this is just what i was looking for Patti!
I forgot about the writers strike Saw Pe! How are they living at this point? -- That will make a good story later on. I hope they have books to publish or something else substantial as a way of producing income.
djtphn1 - I'm glad if this article can help you! Thanks for the request. :)
Very good info and ease to understand. *thumb up* for you!!
Excellent. I still learning to writing. :)
Thanks for visintg, Cinda. Much success to you in your writing! I look forward to all your Hubs in the future.
Nice graphics and information.
Thank you Talentmanager! I'm glad you stopped by.
Great hub Patty! I'm breaking into the Freelance world and this will help improve my resume. Not too mention the posted literature.
Nic
I start practise writing and thank you for your informations. It can help me so much
I wish you every success!
Thanks so much for all the great info. It was well written and your research appears excellent.
I spent many years helping others develop their resumes to find better paying jobs, but, of course, had no clue when it came to revamping my own.
Thank for for your clarity and practical suggestions.
It's great that you added that comment about the cover letter. I think too many people think of it as "unimportant" and something that can be written in a couple of minutes. They can open doors and tell the employer details that may get lost in a resume.
Good comments, especially about covers letters. Resume writing fan here :)
That's an excellent Resume. Thanks
Hi there, that is one excellent sample for writers. I'm glad I came accross your hub it is very helpfull. Nevertheless, how would a new writer with no "published experience" create a resume? I mean, with no articled published as yet, and very little experience in the field (at leasta s a professional), it is very hard to get a job without a good resume. But than again, it is also hard to create a GOOD articles without much to back it up.
I think this is the most difficult part of becoming a freelance writer. No?
You can always start byhelping people write resumes! :)
New writers can join Hubpages and list their experience on HubPages as published writing. Then write more Hubs!
Hi All,
Nice to be here. This is very informative site. Thanks for making this possible.
anil
Thank You for your post. I was looking for information about writing a resume for Freelance writing jobs. Thank You for your awesome post.
Thanks Again
Thanks for the tips. I'm looking to overhaul my resume, so the example resume was especially helpful.
Thanks for the comment and I hope you cause the infomration.
Thank you for such a useful hub! Your experience and credentials are very impressive.
My career (before kids) was in Marketing, but there was always a writing element involved (newsletters, press releases, corporate investor information, website content, brochures, even instructional manuals). Now that I have a family, I need more flexibility and am trying to find my way in the world of freelance writing. While I'm enjoying the writing, I have not yet been able to make a career of it.
Your sample resume may be just what I need to start earning a living with what I love to do! Thanks again.
Sincerely yours,
Cheeky
Cheeky - Many wishes for your success! Thanks very much for posting a comment.
