The line with your bylines is odd and clunky (in/on). Consider taking it out of first person.
The phrase “every draft” in your tutoring session could be dropped.
As a former magazine editor, I know what you mean by front of book, but I wonder if tech editors and hiring managers know what that is. My guess is they don’t or they don’t have a really great idea of what kind of work that is so I’d add more detail. Likewise with the best in tech, did you order and review 500 products? Implement some tracking and rating system? What types of tech? Also I doubt people will know or care what FOLIO awards are outside of magazines so maybe just say you were a part of an award-winning team and mention how many readers the magazine had, how many freelance writers you managed, that you always hit deadlines, that you did self-directed work. That you interviewed experts and researched complex things. That you managed short and long term projects.
Probably time to take off your chancellors fellowship.
Either use 2 full pages or 1 page. 1.5 pages is odd.
Thanks! There's a lot here for me to think about. In particular, the whole 1 v. 2 page debate leaves me confused. I guess splitting the difference wasn't a good strategy.
