Those of you who are more tech-savvy and web-browsy might be on to this already, but mediabistro.com has some really great resources for any one interested in a media-oriented job.  Even if you don’t have much experience in the field, it’s worth a quick browse of the job listings, which can be conveniently be broken down by industry and/or geography, among other filters; registration is required, but all you have to provide is an email account and some basic info.  For anyone trying to figure out what jobs are out there and what your options might look like, it’s a great place to brainstorm.

For more experienced freelancers, there’s also a “Freelance Marketplace” where you can upload your information into a clearinghouse for writers looking for (more) work.  I haven’t tried this function yet, but it seems like a wonderful idea, if not a practical resource.  I’ll follow up on it once I submit a profile.
