Women's Career Tips: How to Land a Great Magazine Job
by Chris Robertson
New media jobs are opening every day for women of all ages and
backgrounds such as media sales jobs, media relations jobs, and many
others. Magazine jobs are especially popular among women. Career women
often enjoy the thrill of working on a busy magazine editing staff,
photography staff, or working as a writer.
Magazine employment offers many advantages for women. Magazines often
provide a good, upscale office environment with great career pay and
benefits. Also, many magazines (especially online publications) allow
women workers to telecommute so they can work flexible hours and stay
home with their children.
Choose a Magazine Career
There are many magazine jobs for women requiring a variety of skills
such as typing, editing, photography, graphic design, newsletter layout,
writing, management, advertising, printing, and computer skills. One
large magazine might employ hundreds of people on staff or as
freelancers. Women can select a magazine career based on their special
skills and what type of work they enjoy. They should consider what's
required for the job and if they have had proper training in that area.
Some magazine editor jobs or magazine writer jobs might require college
training.
Next, women can sift through jobs with magazines that cover subjects of
interest to them. Every magazine has a theme such as business, finance,
home decor, travel, fashion, working women, parenting, or gardening.
Fashion magazine jobs, for instance, would be perfect for a woman who
loves working in fashion and wants to have a magazine career as well.
Job Resume Tips for Women
Before applying for a magazine job, women should create a very
professional, detailed resume. Two formats should be used - one for
online applications and one to print for applying in person or by postal
mail. The resume should be detailed with all high school, college, and
other special training. Any skills or experience working in an office
environment should be listed, even if they're not directly related to
magazine work. Also, the resume should detail personal accomplishments
such as musical skills, honors, awards, sports, and so forth. The layout
should be professional and easy to read with no grammatical errors.
Research Magazines before Applying
Media jobs for women aren't always what they seem to be. Applicants
should do some legwork to find out what the job entails as far as tasks,
hours, and pay before applying. Also, there should be the opportunity to
move up the career ladder later on. To do research, applicants might be
able to call or email to ask questions. Otherwise, they can have a list
of questions ready for the job interview.
Career Success Tips
Women's jobs can easily be found these days, but aren't always easy to
keep. Once a great career has been secured, this is just the beginning.
To be successful, women must work hard, be dependable, and meet
deadlines. Magazine editors, writers, designers, and printers must
complete their tasks before the print date or the magazine will not stay
afloat for very long. Women who are new to the field can secure their
position by showing diligence with even the smallest of tasks and by
being willing to go the extra mile.
Another way to secure long-term magazine work is to be willing to start
at the bottom. A woman might start out as an editor's assistant, but the
opportunity to become an editor could be just around the corner. Or, she
might start as a freelance writer or photographer before getting hired
on as a staff employee.
Magazine jobs for women provide exciting opportunities in a variety of
fields. Women of all ages are realizing their career dreams through
magazine jobs and are enjoying a healthy salary and great benefits in
the process. Use these magazine job hunting tips to discover your dream
career!
