Thank you Tony Kinard for this template!
Here is a job search idea for you! Write a proposal to a company or government agency based on your expertise. Tell them how you can help them make money and you will get their attention. Prove you can make or save them money, and they will engage you. Your first step is to create an RFP. What's that? Read the email I just received in my e-box and then thank Tony Kinard for availing such a valuable resource for FREE!!!

Hi all!
Just wanted to announce a little side project I’ve been working on. Over the years, I’ve garnered a bit of knowledge with regard to developing RFPs and proposals, especially for interactive and technology projects. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked my advice on how to write a good RFP (request for proposal). Not long ago I wrote a short article on it in response to requests for help about it on the AMA e-commerce listserv and the response was really positive.
After searching the web for a good source to point people to, I realized there was nothing available that was to my satisfaction. Seeing a need, I created www.howtowriteanrfp.com , where I’ve expanded and made available my complete document on how to write an RFP – free for anyone to download upon registration (if I’m giving away my intellectual capital, I’d at least like to have an idea of who is getting it).
I’m in the process of writing part two: “How to manage the vendor selection process”, which will soon be posted as well. If all goes well, then I might make a series out of it with articles on how to manage certain interactive projects and so forth.
What do I get out of it? Exposure, I guess. Perhaps a lead or two.
The site was literally just launched today. Please feel free to pass along to anyone you feel this might help. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
~ Tony
