Deal Makers and Deal Breakers: How to Get Your Resume to the Top of the Pile

handshake

by Deborah Ng Most members of the FWJ community come here to find job leads, learn tips and share ideas for landing the perfect freelance writing gig. Nothing offers more insight than feedback from people who place ads here. When clients and employers write a guest post letting us know their thoughts on the applicants it helps us to fine tune our cover letters, resumes and writing samples. With that in mind, I asked some of my friends about their freelance writing deal makers and deal breakers. The things they see on applications that will either propel a resume to [Read more…]

Freelance Writing Jobs for Friday, September 5, 2008

Good morning FWJ Friends! It’s the end of the week already and I’ve got leads of health writers, technical writers, and finance writers this morning. Internships and opps for proofreaders, real estate writers, and marketing writers also made the list. I was following yesterday’s discussion about writing custom samples with great interest. I think part of the issue surrounding them is how writers think of themselves. If we decide that we are “creatives,” then we are more likely to be prepared to “audition” for a job, like actors or musicians do.

Article Packages – Green/Eco Initial Themes

I am starting several niche marketing businesses and need ‘one stop shop’ solutions for content. What I mean by that is the ability to order: – a given number of keyword SEO based, high quality, original, interesting and above average articles for a given niche – web2.0 sites created based on the niche – squidoo, hubpages etc

Financial Writer Wanted

Financial Writer Wanted for Weekly Newsletter We are looking for a writer with extensive knowledge of the financial markets and mortgage/housing industry to write a weekly newsletter sent to our members. The intended audience is real estate professionals, so there needs to be a bend in the newsletters about housing written in layman’s terms. Plus, it needs to be upbeat without dry financial speak (a sense of humor will help). The newsletter will look at the happenings of the prior financial [Read more…]

Ingenious Interviewing Tip – Silence

picture-6

We’ve all had those interviews. No matter what you ask or how you ask it, your interview subject is shut up tighter than a presidential candidate making a VP pick. Sometimes people are worried about giving too much information away, others are just nervous, but either way you’ve got to get the information. So, what can you do to crack that nut? The ever faithful “Could you elaborate on that?” sets it up and then your follow up hits it out of the park: silence. Silence is uncomfortable and in today’s world, unusual. Your pleasant, expectant pause is often a [Read more…]

Freelance Writing Jobs for Thursday, September 4, 2008

Good morning FWJ Friends! I’ve got opps for bloggers, copywriters, and technical writers for you this morning. There are postings looking for a dance critic/writer, a grant writer, and someone familiar with writing sales presentations. A fact checking gig also made today’s list. One posting that I decided to skip was where the employer wanted to see a custom-written, 1,000 word sample. Even though the ad stated that the samples would not be used unless the applicant was hired, it seemed a bit much to me. An employer should be able to get some idea about a writer’s “voice” from [Read more…]

If There Was No Internet…Would You Still Write?

debs-keyboard

by Deborah Ng It’s no secret I started out in publishing and began writing long before the Internet writing frenzy happened. Many of the writers who visit here didn’t even consider writing until they learned how much money could be made online. Let me ask you this… If there was no Internet, no online, no World Wide Web, would you still be writing? Would you be submitting queries to online publications and cold-calling local businesses or would you be an accountant or programmer or have a different office job? I like to think I’d still be writing in some capacity, [Read more…]

Research – More Than Just Google

picture-5

by Terreece Clarke Deb’s note: I don’t usually bust in to other people’s blog posts like this, but won’t you help me welcome Terreece Clarke as our newest blogger and winner of the FWJ Idol contest? I love Google. A quick Google search can often make all the difference in the world, but when it comes to an article, you need little more. When writers research, whether it’s for a book, or an article or for a client, we need to look beyond the information found on Google’s famous pages. A search engine can be a great starting point, allowing [Read more…]

Eco/Green Blog Writers Wanted

Hi, I am looking or good writers for Ecoble with a good knowledge and experience of eco/green writing. Ecoble in the past has focused on strange/extraordinary eco topics. Whilst still incorporating some of that, I want the blog to transition to a focus on ‘everything green’ for urban/city people, with a particular focus on alternative energy, eco design and green living.

How to Ruin Your Blog (Like We Did)

Jennifer and i started out gangbusters when we began Network Blogging Tips. We had lots of bloggers linking to us, good traffic and decent subscription numbers. Then we did the unthinkable. We took the summer off. Jennifer moved to another state and I started a full time job. As a result, Network Blogging Tips fell to the wayside. You see, sometimes when you have a blog that’s not bringing in any income, it’s the first thing to be neglected. I suppose I could have posted at least once or twice a week t0 keep traffic flowing, but the truth is, [Read more…]
