reasons to hire me
Lisa DeRooy

2. 10
Creative, intuitive messaging is one of my
talents…

3. 9
A custom license plate I saw several years
ago:
CRE8 F8
I agree.

4. 8
Playing with words is one of my passions.
Ask me about John Green and Paige
Railstone or 20Q The Simpsons, and the
promotional campaigns for Sony Pictures.

5. 7
I have known for a long time that my ideal
position is “a little less than full-time”.
Your position is just my size.

6. 6
I am a natural advocate for the products and
services that I admire.
I would love to champion the “why?” of your
business.

7. 5
I possess an appreciation for the art of
excellent customer service.
I have been recognized for excellence in
this area in every position that I have been
privileged to work in.

8. 4
I admire the team you have built and I would
be honoured to provide support to them,
and to the clients who invest in your
programs.

9. 3
I am not an editor, but what I do offer is an
excellent understanding of effective
communication, with more than 10 years of
experience writing in business and educational
settings. I have a keen eye for detail. I notice if
words are missing in documents or blog posts
(For example: the MMM last week, paragraph
five.)

10. 2
Suzanne Turpin asked me in our initial
meeting about my ideal work environment. I
gave her this wish list:
I want to work with nice people, who share a
common vision, towards a common goal.

11. 1
Although I have a fairly small social media
footprint, I have used most platforms and I
am familiar with best practices around
“keeping the conversation going.”
I am certain that I can combine my
expertise, experience, and education, to
provide measurable value.
