Have You Tried "Groups"?
April 29th 2011 03:51
Today, let's talk about the dreaded "groups."
Some of you writers may have first joined these when looking for your first gig. Chances are, you joined weird ones that just flooded your inbox with garbage. This is good if you want a lot of options and don't like clicking around all day looking for them. It's bad if you don't like inbox clutter.
The basic "groups" can be found on Yahoo! and Google and should have "writing job" in the name.
There are a few worth checking out but I won't put a lot here. You can fill your inbox way too fast. If you want to join a bunch, make a couple alternative e-mails for this purpose only.
These groups are great for my NON-US friends out there because many groups are sorted by region. Just put in "work at home", "Writing Jobs", or anything you're interested in doing in the group search and you should get an option to choose from US, Asia, Eur, etc. Pretty cool.
Yahoo! Group
Freelance Writing Jobs (I mentioned this one in my first post I think) This one has the Morning Coffee Tuesday job listings sent to you. I like it.
It's a lot of craigslist mixed with basic sites you may have overlooked but it only comes once a week which is nice.

A business letter (or formal letter) is a formal way of communicating between two or more parties. There are many different uses and business letters. Business letters can be informational, persuasive, motivational, or promotional. Business letters should be typed and printed out on standard 8.5" x 11" white paper.
Elements of a Good Letter
The most important element of writing a good letter is your ability to identify and write to your audience. If you are addressing your letter to the department of human resources, avoid using highly technical terms that only engineers would understand, even if your letter is addressed to an engineering company, chances are that the personnel in human resources does not have an engineering background.
The next element is that you make sure your present your objective in a clear and concise manner. Don't be vague about your objective, most people will not have the patience to sit there and guess at the meaning of your letter or the time to read a long-winded letter, just get to the point without going into unnecessary details.
Another important element to remember is to remain professional. Even if you are writing a complaint letter, remain polite and courteous, simply state the problem(s) along with any other relevant information and be sure to avoid threats and slander.
