As a bid specialist, I was responsible for the entire proposal/RFP response process, including the initial evaluation of requirements, developing answers to RFP questions, and final layout and collation of the finished product. I was then promoted to Marketing Communications Specialist, producing proposals, sales letters, brochures, articles, and other collateral targeted at FORTUNE 500 companies including Bristol-Myers Squibb, Reuters America, and AIG.
Several years ago, I took advantage of a chance to explore additional career areas of interest. After several years as a real estate paralegal, however, I've found renewed confidence in my original career choice and am looking for opportunities to return to the proposal writing field.
