Should I Put a Current Job on my Resume? (applying, interest, benefit)

[yh98s]

I'm currently doing freelance writing for an online media site, and it's nothing major- just writing a few articles a week.

If you were looking to hire a writer, would you hire one who put on her resume she's currently freelance writing for another site?

As long as it is not a conflict of interest.

sure-- As an employer, I would think it's nice to know you're currently working in your trade. I can't imagine it would work against you unless it was a really trashy magazine and the articles were all crap.

Let's reverse this, give me a legitimate reason NOT to put it on the resume.

If you feel the job will benefit you than do it if not than don't.

It seems like it relates to the position you're applying for so, yes. I'd put it on the resume.
