‘Job-hunting pro-tip for 2024’ and how freelancers say rates haven't changed
Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.
👀 ‘Job-hunting pro-tip for 2024’: Rhema Thompson Bland, Deputy Director of News Talent Acquisition & Development for McClatchy, shared a few thoughtful pieces of advice about resume writing on LinkedIn.
“When it comes to shopping your resume, one size does NOT fit all,” she wrote. “All roles in media are NOT the same. Just like different outfits for different occasions, have different resumes for different situations.”
🗣 ‘Why people are telling everyone they were laid off’: Joseph Pisani and Ray A. Smith wrote for The Wall Street Journal about how “being let go used to be a private moment. Now it’s often fodder for social-media content.”
+ Also from The Wall Street Journal: “Remote workers are losing out on promotions, new data shows”
💸 ‘Freelancers lament stagnated rates amidst inflation’: Sara Guaglione spoke with several freelance journalists and wrote for Digiday about how they say pay rates have remained largely unchanged even though inflation and life expenses have increased.
