Writer & Content Strategist (SEO and Content Development)
I graduated college in 2000 with a degree in English Composition.
Alternating between school and working the trades, I attended college part-time and worked full-time in construction and excavation (concrete, gas, power, and sewer).
Additionally, I spent several months a year traveling and working as an international raft guide and safety kayaker.
Following graduation, I began working for an online education company — ecollege, — then went to work for an architecture firm.
For both companies, I developed SEO content and websites. In 2008, I moved to Costa Rica and went to work for myself as a freelance writer, SEO specialist and web designer.
Accomplishments include:
• The successful completion of 12 responses to requests for bid proposals for David Owen Tryba Architects. • The completion of over 500 blogs, articles, and whitepapers for B2B and B2C clients in the last five years. • The research and writing of over 100 articles for Rentar.com in the last two years. • Fluent in Spanish.
With my educational background and work experience, I am well suited to work for you as an SEO copywriter.
I have attached my resume to further illustrate my experience, skills, and academic background. I look forward to hearing from you and would be happy to visit with you in an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Ryan Hotchkiss
