What kind of job are you looking for?

I'm looking for a job where I can use my analytical, cognitive, marketing, and technological skills to their fullest extent. In short, I'm an accounts/marketing/writing/computer guy. This is a wide net to cast, so I'll break it down a bit:

I'm very good at analytical and clerical tasks such
managing files and accounts; cognitive tasks such as creating original internal and client-facing documents (letters, reports, statements, strategy plans, and company informational materials); marketing-related tasks such as branding and public outreach; and technological tasks such as managing internal resources (network and server hardware and software, new messaging technologies such as e-mail, voicemail, and digital documents, customer-relationship management software, software-as-a-service, websites, wikis, widgets, gadgets and blogs, proficient with all office software).

Given my background in Journalism and Public Relations I am ideally qualified for a mid-level job as a writer/editor at a small- to- large enterprise or publishing company - any business that produces their own written and online materials (many enterprises employ their own dedicated writers and copy editors). I am considered seeking a position of as a newspaper writer or magazine editor.

With my PR, Real Estate, and Mortgage background I'm also suited for all kinds of business-related careers in the sales, lending, public relations and marketing industries.
