Jim Safianuk originally graduated in Honours Chemistry from the University of Waterloo. He worked in various technical roles in the chemical process industries throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, he always wanted to improve his soft skills and increase the breadth of what he could offer to business and industry.
To further this end, Jim continued his education and in 1999 received a diploma in article writing from the Long Ridge Writers Group, which helped in the writing of non-fiction articles for the magazine market, as well as with the prose needed in-between the procedures.
In addition, in 2000 he also obtained a certificate in Technical Communications from George Brown College. This was the knowledge he needed to write procedural content. From 2000 to 2008 he worked both full-time and on a contract basis as a technical writer. This is where he received his experience in developing:
user guides,
tutorials,
training manuals,
reference texts, and
help systems.
Along the way he also completed a certificate in Web Programming from Centennial College where he learned to design and develop web and intranet sites, both the back and front end. This required an understanding of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and MySQL.
From 2004 to 2008 Jim built two of his own sites, as well as two client sites. He also wrote all of the content for the above web sites. It was during this period of time that he gained experience in the creation of online content, including the writing of:
regular pages,
landing pages,
procedural content,
online articles,
Q and A pages, and
instructional courses.
He also learned to optimize the above sites for good search engine placements.
In addition, Jim is an accomplished copy editor, both for printed publications and site content. He considers this a very useful skill because of the need to self-edit his own work.
However, after he found his true purpose in life in early 2008, he decided to make the transition to preventative health care.
First, he received his Certified Personal Trainer (ACE-CPT) designation from the American Council on Exercise in August of 2009. This formalized training was right up his alley because he was very active in sports and recreation all his life, both as a downhill ski instructor and inline skating coach, as well as a participant in other outdoor activities.
