Sooo, I finally updated my blogroll (click through to see it in the sidebar, RSS-ers) with some great career resources. I work in the creative industries, and you’ve probably noticed that many of my work-related links here relate to writing or social media. So if that’s you, have a squiz at some of those blogs – value guaranteed.
Really, the only thing missing from there now is book blogs – but as much as I love reading, I don’t read blogs about books. Ah, well.
