Journalism Gig Acquisition

date Saturday, 25 May 2013 time 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

👤 Holley Simmons, Holly J. Morris, Rachel Kaufman 🏢 Washington Post

Past

Learn how to apply for a journalism job from the perspective of a hiring manager and successful applicants, and how Elle Woods’ application to Harvard Law School (in “Legally Blonde”) can get you an audience with key players.

In search of freelance assignments? Rachel Kaufman, author of “Cover Letters of Creative People,” will school you in crafting pitches that will lure editors into your writerly embrace.

We’ll spend about half the class on resumes/cover letters/portfolios and the other half on freelance pitches.
