I joined CCA a few days ago and I’m on board with everything I’ve read so far, but I have one blank spot from this piece:

About how long should one wait between the “sell yourself” email and the follow-up email?

Hi Anne,

On a selected credits resume, you don’t need to reference when you worked on pieces – think of it more of a list of copywriting projects you’ve worked on. The whole point is to focus on your relevant experience instead of years you’ve spent in other professions or years spent at home with kids. Of course, if they want a full (traditional) resume later, you can give that to them – but it’s always a great idea to start with a selected credits resume to highlight your most relevant experience first.

But, for those of us who’ve come from other professions, does that mean we leave those years to be a question for the hiring manager? I’ve already got some dead years when I was home raising my kids – I’d rather not have more blank years on my resume. I taught music in public school for 5 years and it gave me valuable insight into the education world for writing, even though I didn’t actually “write” for a living.

As a business professional by trade and now into my 8th year of education, I value a “teacher” that passionately fights to ensure the success of their students. Every single time I read something of yours, I more excited to learn. I know it’s a result of your skill in written communication, and yet I genuinely feel every word!

So, with that being said – I really just wanted to say thank you for being one of the great ones. One of the few whom understand that real success is achieved when you are able to duplicate the same rhythm through others! Bravo!
