The Canadian Media Guild has launched a freelancer directory that offers its freelance and temporary members a place to showcase their skills and experience to potential employers. The database has space for members to highlight their publication credits, training, and education. Profiles also have space for work samples of all kinds — print, images, audio, and video.
The CMG is holding a workshop on Friday, December 5th from 2:00-3:30 to help members optimize their online profile. Toronto employment counsellor and career coach Anne Brunelle will discuss current labour market standards, the key words most commonly used in your field of work, and best practices for self-presentation. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions specific to their own profiles.
To register for this free workshop click here for the Eventbrite page. Members outside of Toronto can register as online participants and will be able to watch the workshop via webcast — details to be announced closer to the event date.
