Comments on: Summer's Here…Get Your Job Search in Gear! http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2009/06/summers-here-get-your-job-search-in-gear/ Freelance Writing Jobs for All Writers Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:52:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Leah http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2009/06/summers-here-get-your-job-search-in-gear/comment-page-1/#comment-139102 Leah Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:02:05 +0000 http://freelancewritinggigs.com/jobtips/?p=409#comment-139102 This could work out for me since I'd like to launch a freelance writing career, and I have no choice but to do it now. In your last post, you mentioned resources available for people who are actually willing to put the WORK into doing this. I apologize if this is about to go off topic but can you point an aspiring writer in the right direction? I have some books coming my way which I'm sure will help, but I'd love real time advice too. For instance, how do I make a writing-based resume? My current resume is comprised of my professional experience, not so much my writing experience and skills. Would you be willing to write a "How to Launch" post - or if there is one can you direct me to it? By the way, this network is an excellent resource! I'm so glad I found it!

I let my clients know I'm available and usually end up filling in for staff vacations. If you and your clients are comfortable enough with each other, (and you're okay with a week of on-site work here and there), it can be a great source of summer income.
