I am not considering graduate school, though I've had at least two teachers try and nudge me down that academic career path. So, the job markets I have done a little research on and hope to enter are:
-Freelance fiction writing
-Freelance creative non-fiction
-Proofreading
This list is general for a reason. Being too specific at this point would result in guaranteed failure at breaking into a job market. If I say I only want to write short fiction and poetry, that's a very narrow career to break into. According to the readings from earlier this week, many people start in one place to pay the bills and, down the road, end up in a career in which they are truly happy. The list above consists of the top three markets I would be able to start out happy in, but I am fully aware of "reality" and am willing and, I'd like to believe, able to adjust accordingly.
Accomplishments I'd like to focus on are that I have experience in creative writing, having taken six fiction writing courses and four creative non-fiction courses at Rowan University (I'm not sure if I should count College Comp I and II, since literally everyone has to take that). I have also published a total of six poems and short stories in the University’s undergraduate magazine, Avant, between the 2010-2012 issues.
CV objective statement
My objective is to work as a freelance creative writer. I would like to highlight my thorough education in both fiction and creative non-fiction writing, as well as the number of pieces I have consistently had published in a magazine.
