I'm Now Writing Business Guides at Work.com

Stop by and Visit Me at Work.com
Just wanted to share my latest writing gig with my readers: I'm very busy these days writing business guides over at Work.com (a subsidiary of Business.com). If you're at all interested in business--or if you'd just like to see what I've been up to lately--drop by and see my work. You'll find a list of the guides I've written on my profile page: Jeanne Dininni - Member Profile. Here are a few of them: Sleeker, Slimmer, Smarter Business Management and Finding Your Company's Best Data Entry Solution.
A Bit About Writing Work.com Guides
I'm still very new at it, but I'm planning to write quite a few guides each week. Work.com guides are aimed at small to medium-sized business owners and/or decision-makers and offer tips, techniques, advice, and online resources to help them complete tasks, solve problems, implement processes, choose products and services, manage employees, and basically do whatever else they need to do to keep their businesses thriving.
Putting My Business Background to Work
Though it's a great deal of work, I'm enjoying this opportunity for putting my education, experience, and research skills to work in an area that interests me. I've taken some business courses in college and hold a Customer Service Certificate (in addition to my AA--which isn't in Business, but in General Studies). I've taken courses in Management & Supervision and Human Relations in Business, based both on personal interest and the potential for using them in future employment. My Customer Service Certificate required 10 day-long seminars on a variety of interesting business-related topics, which have added a good deal to my business knowledge base. I also hold Wine Industry and Wine Hospitality Certificates. In addition, I have experience helping to run a pivate music-teaching business, and I myself am a notary public.
Work.com Research: Right Up My Alley
My business background helps a great deal in writing Work.com guides, but equally important is my penchant for research, because a great deal of online research is required to locate the valuable resources that are an indispensable part of every Work.com guide. When writing a Work.com guide, we don't just tell businesspeople to research a topic or find a product for their business; we do the research for them, showing them where they can find the information and other resources that they don't have time to track down on their own. We do that by linking to the resources they need, and in that way, we make their lives--and jobs--that much easier.
Apology for My Sparser Blog Posting Schedule
So, please forgive me if I've been neglecting my blog just a bit, lately. (And, to my blogging friends: Forgive me if I've been neglecting to visit and comment on your blog, lately.) This gig is keeping me quite busy, as I learn the ropes and acclimate myself to the guides' format. I'm hoping that, as I gain more experience writing them, I'll find the guides becoming increasingly easier and less time-consuming to complete.
Stop by my profile page and check out a guide or two. And if you have a minute, leave me a comment. It would be great to hear from you on that large and lonely new website that's all business!
Hope to see you there!
Jeanne

Yuck Yuck, somehow I was thinking that you were a Melbourne Aus. girl.

Writer's Notes
Never been to Melbourne--or any other part of Australia, I'm afraid. But I can think of some far worse places one could be sentenced to than the beautiful, sunny Central Coast of California! If you can believe it, I'm actually a (voluntary) transplant from the other side of the U.S. (Moved from the East coast to the West Coast over 35 years ago!)
Funny the way we can develop certain pre-conceived notions about people we know of but have never actually met. Hope I haven't disappointed you too much by fulfilling the dream I always had while growing up: moving to the sunny shores of California!
Thanks for stopping by my Work.com profile page!
