Fantastic opportunities for freelancers
Two fantastic SPJ opportunities for freelancers!
Freelancers,
With
the current state of the economy, now is the time to brush up on your skills,
network and get your name out there. The Society of Professional Journalists
offers two ways to do all of those things.
First, check out
our Freelancer Directory.
The
directory connects freelancers with employers seeking to hire. SPJ members may
set up an account on the Freelancer Directory to have their names and
specialties displayed online to employers.
Second, you can’t afford to
skip the SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference, taking place Aug.
27-30. Boost your career by signing
up today! You can look forward
to:
• Expanding your
toolbox to include the best emerging technologies that will make you a coveted
journalist for any newsroom. Find out which technologies are simply the “flavor
of the month” and which possess true staying
power.
• Getting back on
track after losing your job. If your
company downsizes, don’t be left in the dust— find out how to handle the new job
search, a possible change in careers and the stress of being laid off in this
tough economic climate.
Look forward to all of
this and much more! See other offerings here.
This year’s Convention,
in SPJ’s home base of Indianapolis, is the perfect time for you to leap ahead of
your competition and learn exclusive industry tips and tricks. So what are you
waiting for? Sign up today! Take advantage and save
by registering before Aug. 2. Get the special SPJ rate at the Westin
Indianapolis Hotel by signing up before Aug. 5. And if you’re looking for a
