I gave a talk at the lovely MSU SND meeting on Friday (that’s the student Society for News Design chapter at Michigan State University, folks), and was told multiple times that I should just “write that down and publish a book or something.”
The thing is, I already did write it down, mostly. Last year. But I did it while on The State News payroll. So in lieu of republishing; here are some links.
Leave-behinds (my perspective)
Leave-behinds (thoughts from someone else’s questions)
Obviously, some of my perspective has changed since these were written, but much of it is still what I believe to be sound advice. So if you’re in the business of job hunting, you might find something in these articles that will help you out. If you do, (or you don’t and something’s missing) let me know and I can elaborate it on the future. Good luck out there.
