Today’s Job Advice

Take any reasonable opportunity to get your name in print. The more your name is out there, and the more samples you have, the greater your chance of landing a good writing job. This includes blogs, newsletters, local publications and any other legitimate opportunity you can find to showcase your skills. No matter where you write though, make sure your name is attached. As a job seeker, your writing is as much for publicity as for any other purpose.
