    Great format and details within your resume. I am impressed Sadie! I also like the 'summary' since it acts as an introduction and adds a bit more insight to your resume.

    Sadie-
    Nice looking resume. I agree with amiefoe about your summary, it gives us a quick look into who you are and what you do and sets a nice tone for the rest of your resume.

    This is an improvement on the previous block of text.

    I use LinkedIn not just to get you thinking about online resumes and keywords and mashing your skills, but using and hacking a format. Do you want a working resume out there? Is this more for colleagues and connections? Does it gather the kind of audience you want then?

    Does your resume or goal require a different format? Is that format out there? Should you create it?

    Okay, I’m getting a little ahead of you.

    For you specifically, this is a better summary. It could be even shorter. The bigger question is the one I had for your bio. Where are you going? Do you want to say you specialize in real estate or do you want that to be another feather in the credibility cap? Is that last sentence the most important one?

    Award winning New York journalist and editor Sadie Andrews blogs about athletes and injury at acttwo.com.

    Doesn’t that come close to saying it all? The details are below? Mentioning that you blog on your own site covers the entire digital comfort and degree paragraph?

    If certain powers don’t want your online presence to focus on your present, don’t you want your online presence to be about your future anyway?

    Award winning New York journalist and editor Sadie Andrews blogs about athletes and injury at acttwo.com.

    That is really all you can and need to say. The rest is the link to and the execution of the blog.

    The rest of the resume becomes about supporting that goal. What are the details of you as editor and writer? What are the details about you the athlete? You should bring more athleticism and sports journalism into the document.

    If that is your answer… There might be other voices and aspects or directions to consider too.

    Nice work.
