Consider Becoming A Suite Writer
Writing for a Reputable Internet Site Can Enhance Any Career
Everyone has an opinion, and everyone is an expert on something. Writing for Suite and the Internet not only allows you to prove yourself, but actually raises your worth
In today's competitive market, you need an edge. A way for others to see your potential before you even walk in for that interview, or a way for your boss/company to see you in a different light. Writing and being published on the internet helps, but you need to be with a recognized site - Suite's reputation helps your reputation.
Why Write Online
Easy access to the Internet allows everyone to see your published work. It's a fast and inexpensive way to expand your audience. It allows potential employers to quickly check you out without even contacting your references - and shows them your style, attitude and ability. CAREFUL though - ensure what you write IS right.
Added Benefits
Choosing what to write about can expand your horizons. If you have a passion for animals but work as a stock broker, writing allows you to relax. It also shows your boss you are not just another broker looking for the big break - you are actively involved with the world. Chances are you will NOT collapse with the pressure of your job as you have active outside interests. Companies realize the more you do outside of work, the happier you will be, and a happy worker is a productive worker.
A Different Light
Once you are published on the Internet, you are looked at in a different light. You took the time and energy to GET published. As well, what you write about may open doors to future opportunities. Not just in writing. Showing your talents makes you more valuable as an employee, both for potential employers and current working situations. You are showing initiative - you are not afraid to take a chance on negative feedback - especially if you show continued work despite comments from others or posters.
