disgruntledjournalist's blogFuck this job search! Submitted by disgruntledjour... on Fri, 03/02/2007 - 18:59.

It's not my job that I hate so much, I'm just effing tired of looking for a new one! I'm a newspaper reporter who's trying to get another job out-of-state. My job search has now entered its 10th month, and it's ridiculous. I have more than four years' experience, not one blip on my resume, and a degree from an accredited journalism school. I'm torn on whether I want to stay in the profession--I'm sure all my fellow reporters can attest to the fact that the pay is totally shitty and we don't even have much job security anymore. Plus, all too many newspapers want their reporters to bust their asses and work all hours of the night and day despite the fact that we're barely getting paid enough to buy ramen. I've always heard that a lot of journalists "sell out" and go to PR. I've applied for numerous PR positions, even had a few interviews, and haven't gotten squat. I may have to take another newspaper job because that's all I can get. |
