[quote=Anonymous]Some basic questions (forgive me if this is redundant to your wife's search.) 1) Does she want to work in print, TV or radio? she needs to pick one. There's not much crossover unless you have been a print reporter and want to be a producer. 2) What real experience does she have? I the print world (which, indeed is dying) employers want to see lots of clips. Generally reporters start out in smaller, regional papers and then move to bigger markets. If she wants to be in DC she should forget the big papers and focus on small newspapers or trade publications. Then work her way up. 3) How old is she? If she's older than 30 without much experience, that may be the thing in her way. Most reporters by 30 have a few jobs under their belt. 4) Has she visited mediabistro.com, and journalism jobs? Those are great sites. 5) Like all jobs, its about networking. How is she doing on that front? 6) can you describe what experience she has had in more detail?[/quote]
