  • Resume Length

     My resume does not show the job title Writer or Technical Writer much, but I have been writing as part of my job for over 20 years! One of the first jobs was the Financial Auditor position I held in 2003/2004. I was an auditor who was also responsible for writing reports of my findings. Continue reading

  • Update

    My sincere condolences to the families of the “army men” who lost their lives in the accident. Guyana lost some talent. I am working on the preparation of that audit resume I mentioned. I recall that I planned to move to the big city (away from DC) for a Financial Analyst job over 15 years Continue reading

  • Auditing Position

    I have had success training/teaching others so a training position would work well for me. I am sure that my background (education, experience, and so on) would also get me an Auditing/Inspector General position. I have a lot of experience with audits. Early in my career, I provided information for Auditors to complete their audit Continue reading

  • Training

    I am still thinking about my skills and strengths (areas of competitive advantage). Last time I posted on this topic, I mentioned my survey/statistics skills. Now I am thinking of training. I did really well as a trainer (I am sure a lot of people don’t know this). In a past position, I trained employees Continue reading

  • New resume/CV

    In one of my recent posts on LinkedIn, I mentioned that I was working on my resume/CV and having difficulties. “My background is complicated.” I said. “It includes an internship in the middle of my career, design experience that intersects my BA experience, managerial experience from PhD coursework, and so on.” I wondered whether I Continue reading

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
