Here’s a quick tip for anyone looking for blogging jobs: Follow directions. Read through the entire ad and do what the employer asks. If he says to send three samples of your writing, do so. If he says not to send attachments, don’t send attachments. If he asks you for specific information, include it in your job pitch or application.

I’ve been in a position to hire many times and might receive hundreds of applications. Out of those hundreds perhaps 20 people followed directions. It’s frustrating.

My blog Freelance Writing Jobs is having an “American Idol” type contest to choose our next blogger. It’s for a paying position, two days a week, and the FWJ community will be choosing the winner. Each week another candidate will be voted off the island. I asked everyone to post their pitches, and to apply as if they found my job ad on a job board. I listed specific requirements. To me, the most important requirement was the one where I asked applicants to pitch a specific freelance writing niche to base their twice weekly blog. For instance, freelance marketing, or rates. Only a few did. This bugged me because it made me wonder if everyone read the entire ad.

This is the first time it’s happened and I know plenty of employers who complain of this. The next time you apply for a job, follow all the instructions in the ad. It could set you apart from the rest.

Good morning FWJ Friends! Happy Friday the 13th to You! Are you superstitious about this date at all? I did notice that the boards are a bit quiet this morning. I wonder if that’s just a coincidence or if some employers out there do suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th). I do have some leads for technical writers, translators, copywriters this morning. There are some editing gigs, too. There is an opening for an ebook writer and a few internships, too.

I hope this Friday the 13th is a lucky day for you and you find your dream job today!

A couple of years ago I explained what it was I did for a living to someone at a social club I belonged to. "Why?" she asked, "Where will blogging take you?" At the time I couldn’t answer that. Blogging was blogging. It could take me to new levels of blogging. Perhaps I’d earn six figures, who knows? 

Today I can answer in a more knowledgeable fashion. I just accepted a full time position as blogger and Community Manager for Blog Talk Radio. The job involves two of the things i love best, blogging and social networking. Sure there’s more to it, but  if there was ever a dream job, this is it.

A couple of weeks ago, David Peralty, the Community Manager for PicApp spoke here about using his service on blogs. He too used his blogging skills to catapult him to a full time Community Manager position.

I’ve been saying for some time now as blogging reaches the main stream more full time, salaried gigs are going to open up. Corporations will want bloggers and social networking gurus on staff to help spread the word about their products and services. David and I are both proof of that.

When your networks offer training sessions, and when the probloggers offer tips and advice, pay attention. Take it all in. Because you never know where blogging can take you.
