Writing and Photography for NYC Mobile Guide
We are launching a NYC guide on the iPhone and other mobile devices, and we need your help!
We are looking for people with discernment, common sense and above all… attitude… to help us populate our new NYC Brink Guide by becoming Brink Guide Editors. (www.brinkguide.com)
The job is not complex… we give you a URL where you log-in to upload short reviews of venues or activities with a pic in a user-friendly web form. We pay $5 per item uploaded. Some of our freelancers report being able to upload more than 50 entries a day.
We need original photos and a few original words (but not many - the reviews can be very simple - certainly not more than 75 words at the very most. "Best burger the South side of Market Street." would be a perfectly fine entry. - As long as it really is the best burger from that area. Equally good would be, "Howie tells us his burger is the best 1/3 pounder in town. We concur. Try the salty relish."
We do want special attention to the small shops clinging for life - like the barber shop that's been there 78 years, or the shell shop or thrift shop or tattoo shop that is somehow less commercial than the rest. We are also interested in the best clubs, mechanics, biking routes. We want to be a resource for anyone new to town.
What we don't need to be is exhaustive and complete. We want to feature the 30 best bars, the 15 best hotels, not every bar and every hotel. We'll let Frommer's stake out that territory.
Above all we want the Brink Guide to celebrate the margin, to reveal venues and activities that exist just under the surface of things. We want the local perspective of experienced space and time travelers… the judgment of gifted amateurs, rather than the jaded opinions of seasoned professionals. We are not at all interested in the starbuckization of cities, rather we want to see the small, unique businesses and the commerce they produce.
If this interests you please send us 3 sample items from NYC - Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx! We need:
1) Name of the Venue or Activity
2) Description
3) Address
4) Phone
5) Email and Web site (if they exist)
6) Photo 500 pixels wide no bigger than 500k.
If we like your samples, we'll pay you for them and hire you to write more.

Develop Your Personal Brand
Personal branding is an ongoing process that should exist throughout your job search process and entire career. The goal of establishing a strong personal brand is to differentiate yourself among other professionals by demonstrating your unique value to employers. Below are a few steps you need to take to successfully build your brand while marketing yourself to potential employers:
Increase Your Visibility
The first step towards building your personal brand is to get your name out there. The best way to establish a presence in your field is by attending industry meetings and conferences, participating in panel discussions or volunteering for committees. You never know when your contacts will be able to help you along your job search.
Stay Connected
It is important to stay in touch with old contacts as well as continue to build and maintain your current network on a regular basis. Don’t be someone who reaches out to contacts only when they need something. Foster those relationships, especially the important ones!
Create an Online Presence
Take professional networking to the next level by joining online social networking sites. Consider starting a blog on your area of expertise or creating a website that showcases samples of your work. Make an effort to meet other professionals online by commenting on relevant blogs or connecting with professionals through their social networking profile. Consider creating an online career portfolio and remember to manage your online reputation to ensure you are always presenting yourself in a positive, professional manner when interacting online.
Establish Key Differentiators
Identify what makes you distinctive from other candidates and make sure to communicate it to potential employers. It is important to be honest about who you are as a professional and understand your strengths and unique value you bring to the table. It’s also important to recognize your weaknesses and develop a plan for personal improvement. By knowing yourself, you can more effectively promote yourself to others.
Be Consistent
Ensure that you have a consistent message when speaking with potential employers, colleagues and other professionals. While you may not realize it, everything that you do or say contributes to your personal brand, including the way you conduct yourself in meetings, in phone conversations, through email communications and how you dress.
Seek Feedback and Evaluate Progress
Once you have established your personal brand, it is important to continue to gauge how others perceive you. Test your market value by gathering constructive feedback from your co-workers, peers, family and friends. By understanding how others view your personal brand, you can learn what steps you need to take to position yourself for success.
