Right on, Genesis. As another candidate said in his/her post, if you have enough work, you can always apply for additional gigs and turn them down if you’re offered them but can’t fit them in. If they’re better or higher-paying than what you already have, it’s worth a try!

Excellent information. Fortunately, I´ve got work right now, but it never hurts to have more!

Great post! I actualy never thought of using simple google search to find work. Soemtimes it’s the basics that we forget to use.

#9, thanks. I haven’t done a ton of hanging around MediaBistro’s forum area but I do love their job listings and they have bulbous amounts of helpful information out there for writers.

Excellent post #4, especially the Boolean search…now *that’s* one I hadn’t thought of before. Oooh, I love learning new things! Thanks for the tips! (I so love MediaBistro…it’s a tie with FWJ, of course.)
