Greetings,

I have twenty years experience, concentrated in the areas of Project Management, Marketing, Web Development, Sales, Public Relations, Copywriting and Graphic Design. Current completed Project achievements include Freelance Sites Marketing Research Project, eCommerce Site Product Descriptions Copy rewrites, eCommerce Site Content Pages Copy development, eCommerce Site Keyword Research and Development, eCommerce Site Meta Tag Development, eCommerce Site SEO and Link Building, Weekly Copy Content for a Women's Informational and Interactive Web Site and HTML Programming Logo Linking.

My ODesk Testing Certifications include Marketing Skills, Office Skills, Call Center, English Sentence Structure and Email Etiquette (Top 10%). Currently I am utilizing both a Mac OS X and Windows Vista Notebook as my Virtual Vehicles. My Resume offers the particulars. Also, my Skype Id is karenrickerthope.

I successfully became a National Distributor of rustic/western interior designs through my entrepreneurial venture as sole proprietor of The Speckled Bird, established in 1998. I personally brought my one-woman Mid Western Enterprise Coast to Coast via compelling Marketing Campaigns, the direct result of my Niche Market Research and Web Development prowess. I personally handled all Research and Development, Collateral Material Development, Copy and Design, Marketing and Sales, as well as Accounting, Budgeting and Sales Tax Reporting.

I have been involved virtually with the National Grassroots Activist “Let’s Roll” Project, serving as Project Manager / Assistant Administrator / Volunteer Solicitor / Information Dissemination Specialist, during the Katrina Hurricane Relief Recovery Effort. Other duties with this viable project included Board Moderation / Administration, Public Relations as well as Internet Broadcast Feed Producer.

I have served in the Executive Assistant capacity to Vice Presidents, as well as serving in the dual roles of Business Manager (Budgets, Monthly Accounting, Payroll and Forecasting) and Personal Assistant (Scheduling, Itineraries, Personal Shopper, Personal Assistant) to High Profile Individuals.

Working virtually as a Loan Originator for over three years, I was successful in the origination process, via my work at home environment. I utilized fervent online and offline marketing campaigns reaching Buyers, Sellers, RE Agents, Contractors and Builders. My virtual employ also granted the opportunity to serve as a Relocation Consultant, giving the occasion to work with Buyer's Assistance Programs, as well.

I hope you will explore the benefits garnered by utilizing the employ of an individual such as myself, as I look forward to discussing this possibility with you in greater detail. Until then, I thank you in advance for your consideration and the opportunity to serve.

With thanks and kind regards,

Karen Smith-Rickert
