<p>There is more than one way for me to be hired, and this article should address these different ways.  You can hire me to do freelance work on a website or social media, or you might be interested in hiring me to work full time for you company.  It really doesn&#8217;t matter what you might want to hire me for, these five reasons transcend should transcend.</p>

<h2>1.  Maturity</h2>
<p>I have been working since I was 17 years old.  I started working full time as an adult in 1994, so, as you can see, I have been working for 16 years.  I have done different kinds of jobs from filling vending machines, to counting money, putting up stock in a warehouse, checking out customers to building websites.  I have had my share of &#8220;life experiences&#8221; which has given me a bigger perspective on life.  Further, my faith keeps me grounded.</p>
<h2>2.  Skills</h2>
<p>There are several skills which I am fortunate to have, but three stand out.  I am skilled at building a positive relationship with customers.  Previous employments have left me with customers as friends.  I am skilled on the computer.  I can find my way around the directory in a computer working with several different kinds of programs.  I am adept to learning programs quickly.  Finally, I am skilled at setting up and maintaining WordPress websites.  WordPress is exploding as a website of choice for many different businesses as its benefits are being discovered.</p>
<h2>3.  Initiative</h2>
<p>I have taken initiative in many of my positions.  I have built and implemented websites which have filled unique niches, and I have been willing to take initiative to solve problems in other jobs.</p>
<h2>4.  Communication</h2>
<p>I have shown the ability to communicate effectively.  I have had articles published online at news websites such as Examiner.com and PegasusNews.com as well as successfully ran my own blogs.  Further, I have effectively communicated with many different people using the social media platforms Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<h2>5.  Critical Thinking</h2>
<p>All of my education has been in the area of liberal arts.  This training has given me the ability to think critically.  I have demonstrated the ability to think from multiple angles about an issue.</p>
