How to get a job
"persistence in the extreme"
How I did it: I'm not too proud to beg. (Just like the Temptations.) My husband got a new job, so we were moving. I turned to idealist.org, craigslist, monster.com, the newspaper, everywhere. I must have applied for 80 jobs, some of which I didn't even want -- after all, it's better to have some sort of job than to have none whatesoever.
I got roughly a dozen interviews, and of those, the very first one paid off. I arrived with a full portfolio of previous work, samples of my writing for the interviewer to keep, a list of questions, and spare copies of my resume for everyone. The more preparation the better!
