NAHJ’s New Online Career Center Is Here … and you need to be in it.
These are challenging times and you need all the help you can get.
That goes for you if you’re looking for jobs, freelance opportunities, and ways to market your skills and get your name out there.
That also goes for employers looking for good journalists with a mix of skills to put on staff, to hire as a contributor or freelancer, and producers looking for commentators or colleagues with expertise on certain topics and trends.
You should all come to NAHJ’s new and revamped Career Center now. We are building the largest pool of resumes and information about Latino journalists to help make these connections happen. This clearinghouse is fully searchable, making it easier for journalists, freelancers, journalism educators, recruiters, producers and all those who have and who seek talent to connect in a more targeted and effective way.
And you need to be a part of it.
Job seekers can post resumes confidentially if they like, get email alerts when certain types of jobs are posted, and target their search for full-time jobs or freelancing opportunities. Employers can post jobs directly, but also gain access to a pool of resumes of Latino journalists that keeps growing by the day.
Anyone can search the job listings, but to post your resume, apply for jobs online and take advantage of all the features that make your job search easier, you must be a member of NAHJ. Whether you have a job, are currently unemployed, freelancing or handling your own journalism business, posting your resume is a must to get work, get tapped for your expertise, and promote yourself, which is essential in today’s news media environment.
