Wow, the list is up really early today. I just expected to find more comments on yesterday’s query clinic when I logged on at 6 a.m. not a listing post.

I’ve got an appointment first thing this morning, but I wanted to make sure the leads were posted first.

I *love* seeing opportunities from Maine.

Jodee your leads rock! Thanks so much for all your hard work on this site. As someone new to freelance writing, your advice and tips as well as job posting continue to help me enormously. Keep it up!

@ Jenn: I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more of them.
@ Susan: Thank you for your kind comments! It means a lot to me when the readers take time out of their day to say something nice.

Jodee,
I really wanted to thank you for the leads. I applied for an blogging job I saw on here, and while I didn’t get that job, I was offered 2 future blogs in addition to 4 linkbaiting articles a month!
I will end up making 4 times what the original posting offered BEFORE the 2 blogs start! After they start I will make much more.
I am thankful for resources such as this and for comments, suggestions, and support this blog and its readers provide.

Jodee,
I too would like to give you a ‘loyal and hearty’ ‘THANK YOU’ for all of your hard work!
I have yet to ’score’ a job from your postings, iI can at least apply and finally ‘get through’ to aomebody how passionate I am about not only writing, but ‘making a difference’ with my writing.
Concerning the ‘cry me a river’ applicants that a reader commented on that you posted on your ‘Cover letter Clinic day 2′, I disagree. It is all in how you come across…..
Having a very very rare disease and having had over 330 surgeries, I could be considered a ‘cry me a river’ applicant. But instead I use my ’situation’ to illustrate how all of the things I have learned and experienced over the years would make me an ideal candidate for the position. A few positive examples might be:
- Because some people are reluctant to hire people with disabilities whether it be a valid reason or not, I do not take any work I get for granite and because of that, I am very loyal and work very hard. Which is true in my case. I then mention that I would be more than happy to provide many references to vouch for me. All I want is a chance to prove it to them!
- Hey, if I can survive all of that and am able to sustain all of that adversity with a positive outlook on life, I must be a pretty rugged person. Try me! PLEASE!
- I can devote more time to the job than most people because I have very little distractions (kids,yard work etc.).
- Because I get assistance, I can and am willing to work for less money and do not need any health care benefits etc..
- Because of my disability, I have had more ‘life experience’ in my 30+ years than most people have their whole life! Which is also true. Especially people who hae been disabled their whole life.
‘
If any ‘able-bodied’ people think any of the above reasons are unfair, trust me…..you still have the advantage! :).
It also depends on what you apply for. Let’s say you were a runner before and you are now disabled, fine. Just don’t complain about getting the editor position at ‘Runners Digest’ play the ‘pity party hand’! It reflects negatively on all disabled people! We have come a very long way in a very short period of time…so PLEASE STOP YOUR WHINING!
I invite questions and/or comments (and job offers!).
Thank you for everybody’s insight! I have been on the internet since 1984 and dreamed of the time when people from all ‘walks of life’ can get together in a forum such as this and discuss any topic imaginable and beyond!
Kind regards and Good Luck everybody!
