I have a B.A. in English from a top school and a few years of experience working as an office assistant and transcriber. I want to write freelance for an online web site, but I have yet to be published anywhere. How can I break in? Some honest advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Write your freelance articles and publish them @ http://www.ezinearticles.com ezinearticles is BIG, check this out http://www.quantcast.com/ezinearticles.com You can setup an account for free and publish your own articles. After you have some quality articles published on this site as examples for future employers I'm sure it would be much easier to get a job doing what you want. You may even find a way to make a little spare money with the articles you write =D

You can get a website, or a blog of your own. And begin building a portfolio. At the same time, you can get exposure and after a while ( week, month, year. All depends on your skill and luck) you could have a few offers, or idealisticly... have some groups bidding over you. Technically speaking you could do this all free, but everything free comes with a catch. Advertisements, limitations in size, length and frequency of posts. I enjoy building websites as a hobby, and would be willing to work in conjunction with you to provide you with blogs, forums and the such. Just check here http://ihost.roleplayrevival.com

Local newspaper would probably be your best bet. depends where you live if its a big city there could be plenty of places.
2 :
Scorch is right. You can also check with AP and see if they will use you as a stringer
3 :
You could relocate someplace interesting, like Iraq...
4 :
check online at careerbuilder.com If you try to use the salary calculater to calculate the income of a photographer, you will find job result next to it. And you can enter the city you live, which will show job offers from company in that city. careerbuilder is alson featured on msn. com good luck
5 :
You won't find a photojournalist job posted on Career Builder, Monster.com, or any of those generalized job listings. JournalismJobs.com does have jobs posted on a regular basis. You could try the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), JournalismNext.com, Journalism.org...check out the link below. But you'll probably need at least one (most likely unpaid) internship under your belt before you're hireable. You're going to need a clip book of published images to bring with you along with a journalistic resume to interviews. Keep in mind that a lot of qualified people are going after a few choice jobs, so the competition (especially for us newbies) is fierce. Networking helps A LOT. Persistence is essential. Good luck

Can I emigrate to Canada, yet work remotely in my current job

Can I emigrate to Canada, yet work remotely in my current job?
I own my own company and also do a little freelance. I'm a designer so there's no need for me to be located in any particular place. I'm based in the UK but I cannot stand it here. I'd rather move to the US, Canada or Australia (in that order). What are my options?

You are self employed and can work remotely. You can relocate to wherever you want. You may want to consider the length of time it will take you to make the move. I know it takes on average 2 years to have your application processed to Canada. Being self employed may be a problem because Canada immigration may require you to demonstrate you have the funds to set up your own business. I think the US may be similar to Canada. You may want to consider the skilled worker program rather than the business program because of the finance requirement. Check out the canadian immigration website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp
