Learning how to break into the job market with @StephZeilenga. Pro tip: you’re not boxed into one thing once you get a job. You can try different industries. #onastl

[ONA St. Louis @onastl]

Thinking of freelancing? Matt Sorrell says editors love it when you turn in clean copy and when it’s written in AP style. Bonus: take note of the publication’s specific style notes.

We’re here at SLU talking about how to land a job and make a career in journalism. @CaraRAnthony reminds students to know your worth and always negotiate your salary.

Some good tips so far:

✏️Write. Everyday. Day.
📌 Be open to different jobs, paths
🧑🏼‍🎓 You don’t need a journalism degree to work in the industry, but everyone needs clips to show their potential employer their skills
