Young Working Women is an organization that provides women with the insight and resources they need to be proactive in navigating the early stages of their careers. YWW is looking for volunteer freelance writers interested in writing about career topics for 20 and 30 somethings (200-500 words).
How to apply:
1. Send us your resume
2. Include a link to writing samples, or paste in your email
Young Working Women is content driven. This is currently a non-paying offer; however, we will provide a link to your site/blog/book.
  • it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
  • Compensation: no pay

 

So let me get this straight. This is to provide help for women in navigating the early stages of their careers, yet they’re not interested in paying their writers? A big fat WTF from The Curmudgeon. How is this proactive? “Take a positive step, Sisters, just not with us. We’re the exception. Solidarity.”

Ass.
