Jonathan McKeown, B.A. Grad Dip. …Curriculum Vitae
PERSONAL QUALITIES: Reliable, proactive, resourceful, and communicative.
PERSONAL PROFILE: I am a highly motivated individual with 10 years’ experience in communications, copy
writing and multi-media. I am educated to a post-graduate level, obtaining a number of academic prizes while
studying, including marketing and project management.
I began my work experience in customer service roles for government agencies. I then moved into
management before setting and achieving a professional goal to work as a journalist and sports writer. I then
moved permanently into copy writing with an international agency, as their internal creative copy writer.
I have a strong work ethic, although I am generally a relaxed character that does well in most social and
professional situations. I thrive on creativity and believe my greatest talent lies in story craft.
I have worked to deadlines in high-pressure office environments and have directly followed this by working
remotely from my home office in another role. This has given me the ability to both follow direction and
provided me with sound self-management skills for an autonomous position.
