atw: Re: OT: Non-technical writing careers

Gee, there's a lot of VERY creative résumés out there Garry (S).

So much so that many don't even resemble the truth.

Then, maybe, she's looking at an advertising or PR spin doctor career.

What state is she in?
(Not as in depressed or excited but as in state or territory of Australia.)

If advertising is the desired path, she might like to check out the
Melbourne Advertising and Design Club (MADC) at
<http://www.madc.com.au/> and its industry links page at
<http://www.madc.com.au/public_site/section.php?id=6>
and have her do a site search or a Google for the Copy School.

Please wish her luck from someone who has been there, done that.

It was such a change from working with grown ups. ;-)

Cheers,

How do:

A question I've been asked by a colleague. I've got no idea, so I thought I'd ask the collective.

Said colleague's wife has an HR & marketing background and currently works for a resume-writing company. She wants to move into more 'creative' writing. I'm not sure what that means, and I suspect she's pretty vague about it herself. Maybe advertising, copyrighting, general editorial or publishing.

Any suggestions as to where to start? Are there agencies for this sort of stuff?

Garry.
