Great information! Thanks for visiting my blog, too :)
This is great information.

I had actually never thought of doing that. Very helpful, thanks for the example
Lots of helpful hints on your website. I'll stay tuned. Thanks for stopping by wittbits
Interesting! What agents or publishers have asked you for a resume of this stripe before? I think I recall one magazine wanting something like this.

I hadn't thought of posting my resume on my blog before. Thanks for sharing. Mine would be painfully short... Guess I should work on that. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Huh, never thought of that before. I'm not at the point, yet, where I would need a resume, but it's something to keep in mind for the hopeful future :)
Great idea!
But I only write for my blog-readers these days. I don't think I need a resume to do that. Or have I missed something?
Blessings and Bear hugs!

Thanks for these wonderful tips and template Sylvia.
May come handy to me
Good day !
Great information! I'm glad I stopped by - and will start fiddling... Thanks!
I don't have a problem updating my resume for my database development job, but I've always been puzzled at how one creates a writing resume. Your example is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing!

My resume is on Linkedin. However it is not like yours. It is on a format that was designed by Linkedin. Also I did not mention the fact that I had self published a book on Lulu.
Interestingidea. I'll just share a titbit of information here, as recently I have come across a few Americans not understanding the 'European English' term for 'resumé': we call it a 'C.V' which stands for Curriculum Vitae. This appears in my novel, so handy to have more people 'getting it'!!
I never thought about having a writing resume before--good tip!
That's brilliant! I had never thought of posting my resume on my blog! BRILLIANT!!

This is honestly one of the most useful posts I've read in this blogging challenge. Thanks! I'll bookmark this!
Such a great idea. I never thought to have a resume on my website.
Very useful idea. It will be so much easier to keep it current than having to go back later and try to remember everything. Thanks for the great tip.
Visiting from the A-Z challenge. Love this. Would never have thought to have a writing resume or how do one when I needed it.
Thanks
I think saving one extra resume is very important as well. You don't know when you'll need it and when opportunity strikes. This is really a good format and I've been talking to resume writing Edmonton services to help me with my resume and job application.
I keep thinking that I ought to get in gear and make myself a writing CV. Trouble is, I'm not quite at the point where I FEEL enough like a proper writer!
