How Building a Body of Work on Medium Can Help You Land Your Dream Job
Get the job you want while making an income on Medium!
Recently, I’ve been applying for writing jobs like a madwoman. I was reaching for the stars by applying for positions that I would’ve considered to be “out of my league” this time last year.
I will say, there are many writing jobs out there and the money is decent. The old adage of the “hungry writer” is no longer!
I am pleased to tell you that today I was offered a job with a huge technology publication as a “Social Media Technology Journalist”.
I got a writing job, guys!
So how did I build the confidence to get to this point? Medium. This platform gave me the opportunity to build my body of work quickly and find my writer’s voice in a short amount of time. I had to put in the “woman hours” but it was totally worth it!
I have written over 110 articles in many different niches on Medium. I even forced myself to write an article in the tech niche, and I am so glad I wrote that piece!
Writing in different niches gave me the confidence to branch out into different types of writing. It also ensures that I have a sample on a relevant topic to send potential clients and to use during any application process.
