[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, talk to a temp agency, and get their take. You would go through a skills test, but they get a wide variety of assignments and that may get you in the right direction. Also, and I may get blasted for this, but look into working at a college writing center. I don't know if you have to be attending a college or not, but since you mentioned you have editing and writing skills, that would be beneficial to college students. [/quote] Thank you, PP. I have no idea how to get a job at a college writing center, but it's an interesting suggestion. There are a lot of colleges near where I live. I remember temping when I graduated from college and was looking for a job in publishing. Those were pretty awful jobs. One of the worst was as a receptionist at an ad agency. People threw things at me, literally. And screamed at me when I didn't know where to direct their calls because no one explained the job to me. I lasted one day there. I'm still looking for that group that helps SAHMs re-enter the work force. I've googled, but can't find it. Anyone? [/quote]
