Hallo!!

I'm a fresh grad and hoping to get some work. It sounds pretty difficult to get a job but I would still like to enquire about the market rate so I know what to expect =)

Appreciate if anyone can help on these !! =)

1. Freelance writer-how much per page or per word?
2. Entry-level writer
3. Entry-level marcomm/corp comm/PR exec

For someone at entry-level, with a Bachelor's degree (with Hons).

Thanks in advance!!

I believe most entry level positions are <10k these days.

Unless you have five plus years of proven experience and commercial referees, then you might hit 10 or 12k... just depends.

thanks!

Your welcome and good luck.

hi,
i might just add that aside from the rather low entry level salaries, you'd be expected to work long hours including unpaid overtime on a regular basis. so your working week might look like: M-F 9am-8pm, Sat 9-1.

[lazarus]

then again, some people actually finish at 10pm m-f

Last three weeks included days ending at 11:30, 11:45 and 12:30 am, 5.5 day weeks...life's too short!

Hi JJ, You know what they say "No rest for the wicked!"
I'm sure oneday you'll look back and you'll realised it wasn't so bad.

woah ho!!!

er...ahem. I'm prepared to work long hours if I can learn alot and if working long hrs can still produce quality or quantity work... IF i can get a job, that is.

One tough bit will be the rent.

Of course, that will be when i DO get a job. hahaha!! Sigh. Well, in my 6mths out in the working world, I've realised one is to flow with life, not battle it upstream. Shall take it as it comes.
