From the Beginning

So, I'm not sure I'll even keep this blog, because I'm not so sure I like the idea of blogging in the first place, but it is another way of self marketing and helping to get my name out there, and that I need. I've also got to start writing more , but this will also be a way of chronicling my job search in the writing field and maybe to help future writers have a better go at it than I have had so far.

Today, I got alerts from the following sites, which have all been pretty helpful and which you can get job alerts from every day , too, which helps to keep me motivated to keep applying for jobs, no matter how tedious:

1) www.simplyhired.com
2) www.indeed.com
3) www.careerbuilder.com
4) www.sciencecareers.com
5) www.higheredjobs.com
6) www.pittsburghjobs.com
7) contributor.yahoo.com (trying this one out---i'll give reviews later)
8) www.monster.com

Recently, I found a copy of Writer's Digest 2012 yearbook (http://www.writersdigestshop.com/product/writers-digest-yearbook-2012 ). This one had a huge list of 100 best websites to write for (get paid), get advice from, and share advice with others writers and editors.
