Matthew Solis is Editor of American Ratings Corporation, creators of Diamond Certified Resource. He writes about Consumer News, Practical Tips and Industry Specialties.
When Matthew Solis was offered a high-ranking position after just a few months of working for American Ratings Corporation, it was obvious he’d made an impression. “When I first started here, I was definitely motivated to make a statement with my work, and I think the management recognized that,” he affirms. “I was initially hired for a staff writer position, but after about three months, the editor who hired me left the company. Rather than hire a new editor from outside, management decided to move me into the position and I’ve been overseeing the editorial department ever since.”
Matthew says his favorite part of his job is the dual characteristics it encompasses. “Editing is very technical, but there’s also a lot of creativity involved, so it’s a good mix. I like the process of cleaning up copy and seeing how things could be condensed or rearranged. I also like making sure our company’s message is strong and clear—since we’re representing top-quality companies, it’s important to me that the copy we put out is top-quality as well.”
