I don't have a lot of clips and the ones I do have are not print clips. Some of them are from PR work and others are from online newsletters. I've also started an online blog to showcase my step into the writing life, but it is very new. Should I write something new to showcase my work and send it to prospective employers or send them the above documents in word format? How do I get people to consider me? Also how important is a resume when applying for a freelance job? Some writers have told me not at all and others say very. Thank you for your time and the benefit of your experience. I hope you will consider some new freelancers when hiring. Hi Ms MacDonald,
