While I currently work as a head-hunter, my background is in journalism and communications. I worked for a global human resource consulting firm for six years, where I helped communicate programs such as pension plans, health and benefit plans, executive compensation programs, capital accumulation plans and short- and long-term incentive plans. Most were quite complex, and it took the right mix of communication skills, ability to understand technical and financial information quickly, and the ability to write well, on budget and on time. At a certain point, my reputation preceded me and I became the go-to person not only for substantive writing projects but for any important proofreading, such as major client proposals, in both English and French. I currently keep my skills sharp by working on clients' CVs/ résumés, and recently proofread an IT master's thesis in French. I am simply looking to earn some extra money here and there for a skill that is much appreciated by my clients.
