Where I used to have an opportunity to meet a potential boss and/or coworker face to face, I have to try to show some of my personality in my resume.
My advice for now is to register with OutSource.com or Fiver, or look at PennyHoarder for ideas to make some money. Google writing contests! Don’t give up your writing- you write well!
