Please Hire Scott Rocketship (@scottrocketship)
I am a copywriter who was recently laid off from my full-time position at a mobile and web app technology startup. I used Storify, a web service originally designed for curating news stories from social media sources, to build this interactive résumé in just a few hours. Please hire me. Thanks.
This is what I look like.
- Please Note: if you hire me, I may have to work from underneath a cat from time to time. She may also make her presence known during Skype sessions or Google+ Hangouts.
