TalentEgg.ca & Livedress.com; New Articles and an Update.

My second article, Recruiting 2.0: Social communities for resume building has been published over at TalentEgg.ca. This one is full of tips, and is pretty guidance counsellor heavy. Enjoy.

My first article with Livedress.com went live today. I did a profile on Queen St. jewellery boutique, EKO.

What’s also awesome this week is some news about the blog I started with Elena, Cheap ThrillCampus Intercept has agreed to publish an article nationally, once a month based around the idea of cheap thrills. They run a nationwide publication called Campus Life Magazine and it gets some pretty huge circulation. Although they’ve recently gone completely online, it’s still good news! First article should be up early May. I’ll also be doing a local Toronto article once a month. Thanks to Michelle for the tip off. We’re also going to be pitching a collaborative effort for the publication.



Am I a Writer?

I want to write books like her—not.

I’ve been filling up my plate as much I can these days. I really want my portfolio to be bursting at the seams. I figured that if I can volunteer my writing anywhere that will take me, it’ll give me good practice.

Work is going well, busy as always, but really well. I’ve started working on projects with more great people and it’s loads of fun. Big things also happening this coming week.

My second article with TalentEgg.ca should be up soon. I’ve contacted Campus Intercept—thanks Michelle—and I’m just waiting to hear back on when I can start writing. I’ve also been picked up by LiveDress.com; it’s a fashion site, and I’ll be writing profiles on independent boutiques around downtown Toronto. Most people have asked me why I’d write for an online fashion publication, but it’ll make it a challenge for me to have to write outside of my usual topics. It’s good practice.

Which brings me to my next question: Am I officially a writer? I mean, at work I write for a living. I’ll be writing for three publications soon, and LiveDress is giving me $9 an article. Yeah! $9! It’s better than nothing—I feel so bourgeoisie. Does all this make me a real writer? I don’t really know. I guess when other people start calling me a writer then I’ll feel like one. Whatever.



TalentEgg.ca, Life, and Other Things.

OIL!

I’ve volunteered my time writing for an online career magazine and they just published my first article. It’s called “What to do when your career is sidelining your education”, and you can read it here.

I’ve been working a lot and writing. Speaking of writing, I submitted my first short piece the other day and also received my first rejection notice! I guess that makes me a true writer now. “I’ve been rejected!

Spent most of Sunday working, and on a break I headed down to HMV and bought some movies. Saving Private Ryan, There Will Be Blood, and Good Will Hunting. At the way things are going now, they’re going to be giving away DVDs because of Blue-Ray. Whatever, I don’t really care about high definition that much to want to spend $50 on a movie.
