I just copy, paste and edit. :) No, since it’s so long, Amy, what I usually do is include the skills and topics bits, the education bit (if it’s needed) and shave down the links to suit the job.

I like it. Actually, it gives me a few ideas of how to make an online resume of my own if I ever decide I'm going to do that. If you don't mind my asking, what do you do when someone asks for you to forward your resume (like a word doc, for example?)? Do you just say "Here's the link to my online resume" or do you have a separate resume that you use? Nice! I like it.

Thanks for sharing. I've always been curious. I see a lot of writers saying they use resumes, but none of them has ever said what theirs looks like. :-) Hey Sharon. Thanks for sharing.

Some of the jobs I apply for do ask for them. It fails one important test of a resume in that it's not short. Instead, I have a list of skills (types of writing I do), areas of expertise (topics I cover) and links to my work. It's far too long, but when I need to send a query I can edit it easily. Hi Amy
