Job Needed: Philadelphia Area
Hey guys!
Having only a few days left until graduation, I am in need of a full time position.
I've been around cars since I was three and have always found myself to be a very good writer.
I would love to combine passion and talent in my full time work. Something like a technical writer, magazine writer, even an endeavor into the PR or advertising world would fit the bill.
Below is my current resume. Thank you for taking a look.
