Writing
I've written news articles, video scripts, press releases, and social media posts. I've also created training materials and job aids, when teaching coworkers how to edit video for a website and post to content management systems.
While writing is a skill I've used in all my jobs, it was officially my primary duty when I worked as a general assignments reporter and a senior writer (which later changed to multimedia journalist). The web content coordinator job (later digital media director) started as converting broadcast scripts to web stories. That responsibility remained, while the work expanded to include website management, web sales implementation, social media management, web analytics and more.
Short story: One afternoon in a newsroom, I was sitting and staring at my computer. I was a bit frustrated, because I couldn't think of what to write for a story. Then I thought, "Oh, my God. I am making a living by writing. How did that happen?" And it was an amazing realization.
