Could be a taxi driver. In a lot of more rural areas, there are unlicensed drivers doing pickups on the side through calls made to their private lines. They'll post fliers at local stores and whatnot.

I recently landed a part time job as a resume writer. I've always been the go-to guy from friends and family who need an updated or new resume but I've never done it professionally. I'll be working for an employment services company. Do you have any advice or suggestions on how to be a strong resume writer?

Also, I'm a trained writer (journalism school degree + advertising writing diploma) and I'm looking to get a full time writing job. For the last five years, however, I have worked exclusively in education, overseas and at home in Canada. I have leveraged this experience before, primarily for content and curriculum creation positions at education-focused organizations, but I wonder if you have any tips on how to reposition myself as a writer and not a teacher.

Thanks in advance and thanks for doing this!

Great response! Thank you. Do you have any advice on my latter question about transitioning into a writing career (technical writing, creative writing, communications are three areas I'm interested in) after being in an unrelated profession (teaching) for the last 5 years?
