Not enough pay.

2 pages of cover letter ? Careful now. That might get the "Too Hard" basket.

Shave it mate.

Can you read, mate? One page of resumé, one page of cover letter.

I took care of it for him. It was quite well written, much better than most of the posts here. Needed but a light polish. Probably took less time than it took you to compose your witless reply. No charge.

Done already. Great!. I would also have done it for zip. Thomas was a bit faster than me. I have done heaps of this sort of thing over the net. Never thought about charging for it. Made some nice friends though.

Is that how you met our friend, Lilystink? I could see her needing some editing help, and maybe in other areas as well... Tell her to come visit the PIT. Her thread, and "lover" Undies, will always be there waiting for her.

Bella: Tanks. Money has never been a top priority for me, and probably explains why I don't have much. Once I did a polish of a thesis for a student in Changzhou. 11 pages, no less. Normally I put it in word, and highlight the changes in red, so they can see the changes. works well.
Anybody else out there, need help, pm me, and I will give you my email.

TCG. No actually. But must agree, the worse the language she uses, the worse her writing becomes. She is on vacation, and seems to have gone away from her computer for a day or two. We write on messenger, and as I have said she (actually) IS a nice girl. Believe it or not.

You are definitely NOT Chinese! Although I admire your generosity, how do you survive in Shanghai? Look at Undies, the first question he asked was how much! Aren't you afraid of people taking advantage of you?

Time is money, too. You yourself frequently take the time to dispense much knowledgeable and useful advice on this site, and I don't believe you're being paid for it.
