I am applying for a position as a blogger with this organization called Ecumenical Women. We have partnered with them at the Commission the Status of Women for the past few years. I have never applied for a professional writing position, so I am a little nervous about how to do it. I guess this job I have now can be considered a "professional" writing position, but I am technically doing Communications, which is much broader than just writing. I am supposed to submit three blog samples. As this is my only blog - I thought I would submit three from here. Can those of you that read my blog regularly suggest particular good entries to me? I' m hoping to back through them tonight and find the ones I like the best, but sometimes one's own judgment is not always accurate. Are there any that were your favorites? Or that struck you as being particularly profound, especially around issues of theology and/or women? I am hoping that if I get this position, I will bring something new to the table. I am a young women who is passionate about Ecumenism. I suppose there are lots of women out there - but my voice is unique. I bring my experiences and my passions with me.
I also booked my flight for the UK! I am going to be there for 10 days at the end of August! I'll get to see lots of family and spend some quality time with friends. It should be a great trip.

for sure this one :
ReplyDeletehttp://maryanningeneva.blogspot.com/2009/07/unesco-day-2-part-2-of-3.html
it demonstrates
1. your enthusiasm by working late nights
2. your loyalty to your readers (its part 2 of 3 parts after all.. no short-shrifting here)
3. your desire for the underrepresented (in this case, students) to have a voice. you dont mention women specifically but one can easily see you applying the same devotion to the cause of women, which is a trait requested by the ecumenical women site you mentioned above
4. your experience with the united nations, which the ecumenical site says is a "plus"
and most of all it has that 2nd comment in there which directs you here :
