by Daniella Nicole

As I go about my daily business for work and home, I have begun to check out the jobs/careers section of each business site I come across in order to see if they have openings I can pass along. Here are some more that I came across:

Staples is hiring across the country. This is the link for the non-hourly (corporate/managerial/etc) openings.

Novell is hiring. Multiple locations, including international. Mostly tech, a few internships and one tax/finance (internship).

Hulu is hiring. Multiple locations. 24 openings, currently.

eBay is hiring. Multiple openings and locations.

Home Shopping Network is hiring. Multiple job types and locations. Currently there are 69 job openings.

TicketMaster is hiring. Multiple job types and locations.

If you get a job from these listings, please let us know. Good luck!

Freelance Writing - So Easy Anyone Can Do It! . . .NOT

One of my favorite bloggers, Deborah Ng, posted this article on her freelance writing blog, and I must say I most heartily agree. The assumption that not only is what we do 'easy' but 'wealth-creating' is something I run into a great deal in my interactions with others who find out what I do.

Not everyone can write, and not everyone has what it takes to not only come up with new ideas to write about, but also put the right spin on it so it will capture and hold the attention of readers.

Most freelance writers cannot live on what they make from writing, alone. We have to have other sources of income unless and until we can land some long-term and good paying contract work. We are more correctly associated, income-wise, with the category of 'starving artist' than we are with J.K.Rowling.

We love what we do. If we didn't, we surely would not continue to do it. But to minimize the amount of work and skill it takes to do what we do is a grave injustice.
