Subject:How to find first tw job? From:Roy Aney <royaney -at- BIGFOOT -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 21 Sep 1998 18:45:31 -0700
I've been lurking about the list for a while and though I see a lot of
posts concerning employment I've not seen anything that would pass as
advice or guidance to the aspiring tw seeking work for the first. How do
I overcome the "Only those with experience need apply" mentality and
find that rarest of commodities - a first job/assignment?
TIA
an aspiring TW
