I used to work for the International Design Times, which is a news website under International Business Times (IBT) Media Inc., as managing editor. Generally, I manage the website and see to it that it is updated regularly. I also edit articles in the absence of the copy-editor and write articles to help in generating hits.
As a freelancer, I also had copy-editing gigs for Latin Post Company. I was tasked to check facts, grammar, voice, tone and the overall structure of the articles submitted by the writers in accordance with the company's style guide. I handled several writers working for the Latin Post and its verticals, which include Latinos Health, Latin One/Latinos Post, BooksnReview, and JobsNHire.
After my stint with the Latin Post company, I was hired to manage the Parent Herald. My tasks included the implementation of strategies and general policies for the website, development of a style guidebook, training of editors and writers and managing the website in general.
Aside from that, I was also assigned to drive improvements in service delivery within the shared services teams, recruit and develop direct reports and manager staff career/succession planning. Our hard work paid off as the Parent Herald website is now among the Top 25,000 Websites Worldwide per Alexa Ranking.
I was also able to manage another website called GamenGuide. From being at the 273,751 spot in Alexa Ranking, GamenGuide is now among the Top 6,000 Websites around the world.
I was also able to work as a social media influencer, channel administrator and a TV and Showbiz Expert at Blasting News. I am also a permanent contributor to The Inquisitr.
My training and experiences in my past careers make me at ease in dealing with people, clients, colleagues, and assignment professionally. I am confident that I would be able to make a worthwhile contribution to your company.
