It’s pretty easy for someone else to pick you.
The employer sees your resume and they pick it from the pile for an interview. A magazine Google’s a topic and finds your blog and sees you’re passionate about their topic so they pick you to guest a column.
The thing about getting picked is that it starts with picking yourself.
Picking yourself as a qualified candidate that applies to the job. Picking yourself to start a blog and not wait for a columnist position to open up.
You can imagine what it takes to get picked then.
You can also imagine that maybe you don’t need to get picked at all if you do it for yourself enough.
Stay Positive & Pick Early, Pick Often
