[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My only skills are writing and editing. I can use MS word, Excel, and Powerpoint (from helping my kids), but not in a professional capacity.
I suppose I'd like to be an editor. That's what I did 29 years ago. My editing skills are fine. I'm not sure what computer skills I would need for an editing job, if I could get one. I'm over 50, so most people hiring would be a lot younger than I am. I could do an admin type job but would likely gwt bored pretty quickly. Not sure I even posess the skills to ne an admin, though. 
Thanks for the suggestions. More, please![/quote]

The fact that you don't know what computer skills you need for an editing job shows you may want to volunteer some first...[/quote]

What type of volunteering? Where can I volunteer my editing skills? I'd love to work for free at Washington Magazine or the Post, but I doubt they'd take me, even for free. They'd have to train me, and that would cost them money. I've done lots of volunteering, for the PTA, etc., but I truly cannot figure out how volunteering will help me get a job as an editor. If you have any ideas, please share! [/quote]
