>You have referred to yourself several times as a
>content writer. I'm not sure what that means
Has anyone ever called themselves a "content provider" and has it worked for them?
I was once strongly advised to put "content provider" on my resume because it was the computerese buzzword for writer and "will get you a much higher salary and way more interest." In reality, I got zero callbacks and one temp agency asking me what the heck it was that I actually did for a living.
My advice - forget about providing content and just be a writer.
