Spare Change

Wanted: Writer to help Writer

Posted by Bryan

I subscribe to guru.com, a freelance source. I've thrown my line in the water maybe five times in the year I've been receiving news of their solicitations, and have never caught what I'm fishing for. Just as well, things are plenty busy.

Anyway, this opportunity arrived in my inbox the other day, and it cracked me up:

Category: Writing / Editing / Translation
Description:
I'm looking for someone to write a bio page for me that I can submit when looking for writing jobs. I would submit this instead of a resume and it will spotlight what I've done so far in terms of writing, a little bit about myself, etc. It will be one page only but needs to read well and get the necessary information in there for a potential employer.

Thanks.

Seems to me like this is a little like RC Cola asking Coke to make a commercial on its behalf.
