Rich Tatum's Career Page

I am available for short-term contract work, freelance, writing, editing, content management and more. I'm also currently available for full-time employment. Please check out my resumé and anything else here that grabs your attention. (The first thing every job hunter learns is to drop all pretenses of false-humility and describe accomplishments and work success with frankness and honesty. On the other hand, I really wouldn't have prepared this page if it weren't for my current employment status!)

If you would like to get in touch with me, feel free to drop me a line from my contact page.

Official Job Descriptions

Testing and Strengths

DiSC Classic 2.0 profile, prepared by Resources Unlimited. I tested out with a high value for "C" (Conscientiousness), which winds up pegging me as a "Perfectionist." This is largely accurate, though some details are off, notably it's analysis regarding flexibility. I find myself to be far more flexible than the profile indicates. But, as with everything else, it's just another analysis tool based on aggregate data. No profile fits perfectly. (09/27/2007) "Big Five" or "Five Factor" personality test. (10/05/2007) Personality100 Complete Personality Profile. (09/01/2007) Gallup Organization's Strengths Finder. My top five strengths are: Input, Learner, Achiever, Intellection, and Strategic. See my certificate, or read the analysis of what the strengths mean. (01/06/2005) The Achiever (a corporate strengths assessment, taken prior to assuming role as online media manager at CTI) My PersonalDNA profile: Advocating Leader

MyPersonality profile:
IQ Test (I hesitate to include this because I don't put much stock in this, and neither should anybody else but it at least demonstrates the relative strengths of how my mind works.)
