Travel, Writing Projects & More

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I wanted to send out my apologies once again for being far too light on posting lately here on JobsForEnglishMajors.com. Travel to see family on the weekends has taken up some of my time, as well as some contract assignments as both a managing editor for a technical writing project and more recently as a content strategist and copywriter for another, different project.

However, the good news for the blog is that these experiences have given me some great ideas for future posts (as in very near future posts) about two subjects that will be very important for English majors and writers of all stripes in the medium and long term: technical writing and editing, and working for companies as an independent contractor.

Look for some new posts very soon (this week) and feel free to write in with your ideas and experiences as well.

Hi! I was reading your blog because I have been looking into what I can do with an English degree with a minor in communication. I saw that you mentioned that you are a technical writer and a copywriter. I have been trying to figure out how to get into both occupations. I don’t have any experience in either and could really use some advice on how to get started. I taught English for two years as soon as I graduated from college and I’m looking to get out of teaching and do something more with my degree such as copywriting or technical writing. I’ve been trying to find copywriting assistant positions, but there are none! Everyone is looking for someone for more advanced positions and not entry-level positions. HELP! What do I do?! :D Thank you!!

Sincerely,

Nicole Tanner
