Editing / Writing / Technical Writing / Publishing Jobs (Columbia: find a job, university, moving to)

[NMclau]

My husband and I are moving to the Columbia area this fall and I would ideally like to find a job in one of the following fields: editing, writing, technical writing, or publishing. I have an English degree, graduated with my BA about 2 years ago, and have roughly 1 year experience in editing. I am not looking for a hook-up with a job (though I wouldn't scoff at one), but am really trying to find out where I should be applying. Are there any publishing, advertising, or writing firms in the area? What magazines and newspapers should I look at? What other employers may have positions like these, available or not?

I am really just looking for a head start. I plan on beginning my job search next week, so I haven't done much research yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The Freetimes might be interested. I am not too sure of what your writing preferences are, but you could always check into them

Free Times - Columbia's Free Alternative Weekly

You're moving to a State capital with a major university. I'd start there although things are going to be slow everywhere this year. Best of luck!

Your best bet is to work up your resume and post it on the employment sites: Indeed, Monster, etc. The 'net is full of employment opportunities, some of which may not be what they claim. Do your own due diligence
