Update: The job for a Phoenix web content writer is no longer available.

A client of mine has asked me to share a Phoenix web content writer position that they’ve just listed on the IABC website: details here. This freelance job is for the APS.com customer website, and it’s a biggie: condensing content, writing in web style and within the new design framework for their currently 1800-page site that they want to cut by a third.

Job requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Journalism or related field
  • 4  Years Writing/Editing skills
  • 1  Year Web usability standards and styles
  • 4  Years Web Writing/Editing skills

It’s Dr. Freelance’s distinct pleasure to play today’s host for Jennifer Mattern’s March Virtual Blog Tour. Here’s her take:

One of the most common questions I receive from new freelance writers is “Where can I find the high paying freelance writing jobs you always talk about?” What they don’t understand at first is that the problem they face is right in their question.
