Cover


I am a writer in the Philippine Time Zone and I can write on Philosophy/Personal Reflection, Product/Service Review, Health & Fitness topics.

Here are my responses to address the job requirements.
• Excellent command of English, both written and oral
I would not not associate excellent as a word for my English writing and speaking ability but I have done pretty good so far. My work history and happy clients are proof of that.
• Reliable internet connection, phone service and web cam for conferencing
I would say that my internet service is fairly reliable. I have phone service but I prefer to use Skype.
• Creative flair and originality
Creativity is such a subjective term and I don't think I can quantify it but as for originality, I can say that I do not plagiarize.
• Awareness of audience
I write not for myself but for the prospected readers.
• Ability to accept criticism and use it in a constructive way
You will not be able to please everyone and that includes the boss. You don't like it, I will try to make it better according to the criticisms that are laid out. It is my job to do it the way you want it.
• Knows Wordpress and SEO-backlinking
Wordpress is simple as long as there are no design tasks, I'll be OK. Basic uploads are not a problem. SEO-backlinking is something that I have done but the tasks I have performed for various SEO gurus are compartmentalized.
• Has a portfolio
Check it out at https://www.odesk.com/users/~01f1bab60d773ddcb3.
• Can work without supervision
I prefer to work on a set of rules and go about it without someone looking over my shoulder.
• Reliable, detail oriented, extremely organized, responsive to calls, emails and prompts, and can meet tight deadlines
I am all that but a guarantee on tight deadlines is out of the question. However, a reasonable deadline will always be met.

500 words = 1 oDesk hour = $6.67 (with oDesk fee)
If you find that I am capable, I can start ASAP.
Thanks,
Norman


Additional Questions

What is your passion? Do you have other skill sets you would like to talk about?

Passions change and right now, I can say that it is probably writing, since it consumes a lot of my time, but I would say that service to my family is a passion that will never die. It is good thing though that I can do my writing in service to my family.
SKILL SETS, yes I did write that in all caps, I did that to highlight that I have many but a jack of all trades like me has few skill sets that are at the expert level, perhaps in my case that is due to the compartmentalized way I have been dealt tasks.
