My First Piece of Writing

I found my first job early this year. I worked for a non-profit organization who needed a teacher to come up with a youth service curriculum. Unlike other curriculum development opportunities, I am the sole author for this project and this involved a comparatively significant amount of money. I must have logged 40 to 50 hours for a 20-page curriculum. But it was all worth it. After all, it was my first.

What about you? What did you write about for your first freelancing assignment?

Craigslist

Craigslist is a wonderful tool. I use it to look for possible freelancer jobs. A keyword search with the word "curriculum" usually works for me. But this is a slow process if I have to do it for all individual pages. Joy! I recently came across of a site that enables searches for all Craigslist pages called Crazedlist. Clever. It only works with Firefox browser.

How do you look for freelancer jobs?
