ABOUT ME

Name: Eldon Tyler Taylor II
Birth date/Age: 9/10/1983, 29 years old.
Address: 219 Cove Creek Lane Bedford, Pennsylvania 15522
Hobbies: Other than bass fishing, I enjoy walleye fishing, deer hunting, any kind of shooting sports. As a young man I did a lot of competive shooting. I won a few state championships.
Home Life: I don’t have a wife or kids at the moment, although you never know when the rite woman will come along. I’m in the construction field now, roofing mainly. Not my perfect job, but it pays the bills for now.
Why I Enjoy Fishing: It’s hard to put into words. As a boy I loved the fact that it was just me and my Grandfather on the water. Now I just enjoy the time I spend outdoors on the water. Nothing in life can come close to the feeling that you get, when you hook a five pound bass.
Fishing Style: I am a mix between a power fisherman and a finesse fisherman. I do both really well. Deep cracking would be my weakest point, shallow water fishing would be my strength.

BACKGROUND

I have been a bass fisherman since I was 6 years old, my Grandfather started me in the sport. We fished tournaments from the time I was 6 till I was 15 then he stopped, I got a boat and started fishing on my own or with friends. I got back into tournament fishing about 6 years ago, and love every minute of it.
I’ve been mainly fishing local tournaments, but am looking forward to moving up to the B.A.S.S Opens or FLW Ever Start series. I have dreamed of fishing as a pro ever since I was a small child, I remember Bob Cobb hosting the B.A.S.S. trail. An I thought I am going to do that when I grow up, (Not hosting but fishing)  Now it’s time to try.

Not my perfect job, but it pays the bills for now.You should always be positive about what you do, no matter what find the good, don't tell possible employers that you are unhappy where you're at, they'll wonder if you'll be unhappy working for them and what you'll say about it. If your not married don't say that, it's not a bad thing to not be married but don't state it, just say you're single and have free time to help the company

I only had a few minutes but I seen this here and wanted to point out a couple things. MAKE SURE your grammar and spelling are correct, proof read, but that's why you have it here correct  I've also made a few other comments in bold. Finally it's spelled Facebook

[upbhoop]

First - Great feedback Mike.  It’s nice to see someone who cares so much for their fellow angler.

Second - I'm not a sponsored tournament angler, but I managed and hired sales people for years and you're really asking these folks to be an extension of their sales team.  With that said;

There are still more spelling errors.  (witch/which - founds/funds).  Copy and paste the whole thing into Microsoft Word or another program and let it point out all the errors for you.  No room for mistakes here.  Communication skills would be a main concern of mine if I was looking to sponsor anglers. 

"Think", "May", "Probably" or any other words that are not definitive need to change. Same goes with statements.  For example "I have dreamed of fishing as a pro ever since I was a small child," can be written "It has been my goal to become a professional angler since I was a child."  Instead of saying you plan on entering a FLW tournament if funds allow, "I am currently seeking sponsorship and planning logistics to enter an Everstart FLW tournament at XXXXX lake".  The difference here is that you are saying that you are taking action to make things happen instead of hoping that circumstances work out.

Last but not least, you seem to consistently place high in your outings.  Make that part of your closing.  Basically state that you're a winner, you have an ability to promote their product with an established audience, and you would love the opportunity to discuss opportunities further.

I hope this helps.  Good luck.

[snapozz]

wow I thought I did a decent job with the proof reading, but wow I guess I didn't. lol
I love the points you all have made, gotta go to word and make some adjustments.( just like fishing lol)
I would like to thank you all on ulitmatebass for the great help... I mean this is what makes this a great site, anywhere else and I wouldn't have got this kinda help. thanks guys 

after i make some changes ill post it and you tell me if it is any better thanks agian

[Nelsonv1975]

If I added anything I would just be repeating what the others said. Some great advice already given. Listen to these folks and you'll be fine. Just remember there will be many no's and few yes's in the beginning. Don't get discouraged.

[snapozz]

I have made a few changes and would like you to see if i have made any other mistakes. also thanks for the great feedback guys

Sweet!  Nice improvement.  Looks lean and hungry.  One last word - 3 words from the end "farther" should be "further".  They are are commonly interchanged, but Farher tends to be used for distance where further is "to a greater degree".

Nice work.
