This job application was created in 2015 as a Hail Mary attempt
to land my dream job at The Points Guy.
I felt seriously underqualified, but decided to give it a shot anyway.
I've been writing for TPG ever since.
In case you're curious, here's the original job listing.
The Daily Texan 2006-2009
Served as features editor, reporter, photographer, copy editor from sophomore year through senior year. My review of Wong Fu Productions netted me a reference attribution in Wikipedia, although the article itself now exists only in newsprint!
Bazaarvoice Spring 2009
China On The Brink Summer 2008
As a beat reporter in 2008, I sourced, reported, edited and published four original pieces over five weeks, while traveling over 2,000 miles to four different cities.
International Justice Mission Fall 2009
International Justice Mission is a legal non-profit dedicated to ending slavery around the globe. I proofread all IJM media content between August and December 2009, including 30+ press releases, over 15 executive staff biographies, 4 case studies and 20+ research memos.
China On The Move Summer 2009
As managing editor in 2009, I facilitated intensive travel requirements for a team of 15 undergrad and graduate students across Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai. Each week, I completed 2-3 rounds of edits per student submission, ultimately publishing 96 student pieces. I served as the liaison and language translator between our program director and local fixers.
D) Current Sign-up Offer:
Amex Gold Delta SkyMiles
With all the recent sale fares to Taiwan, and all the additional fares that offer layovers or stopovers in Taiwan, this post would list dozens of alternative activities outside of Taipei, for travelers who have already visited the 2013 Destination of the Week.
You asked for three, so I'm following the rules!
