    I will also add that if you're looking to get into professional writing that getting paid to do articles is a great way to build sample writing for when you do get a chance to apply for a more major gig. It'll also let you build your resume.

    This is probably the most complete list of sites for those who are willing to work in freelancing. I would also add a couple of sites where you can put your resume in order before sending to the employer, like this . From my own experience, I know that after working for 10 years in one company, you lose elementary job search abilities.
