does anyone have advice for getting editing jobs? i'm incredibly good at like giving comments and suggestions in a google doc, and all of the friends and peers i've done it for have loved my work, but since it's just in people's personal files i don't really have a portfolio or anything to show for it. how do i go about getting paid to do this kind of work? how do i build up my experience when nobody wants to be the first to give me a job? it's literally the one thing i'm good at.

Iâm in a similar boat where my career is something I enjoy, but I cannot deal with the people Iâm working with. What Iâve found is that if youâve got the time, doing little creative projects for friends/ people whose missions you support is a great way to build a portfolio and strengthen connections. You can do it for money or favors, either way you get the satisfaction from doing your work, the physical material to use if (or when) you start looking for employment elsewhere, and a better connection with the person you worked for so theyâll be more likely to bring you back for another project!
TL;DR - Freelance in your spare time, but donât take a project you wouldnât be proud to put your name on, donât work for a person you wouldnât want to be associated with, keep all that you can, and help bring othersâ missions into reality without sacrificing your own values!

you honestly might be better finding a contract gig or a more full time corporate or agency position, though youâll have a harder time landing interviews without any experience or a portfolio.
honestly, make work up. seriously! pick a local business or a brand and create your own campaigns for them. redo an existing campaign that you think could be better or come up with something entirely unique. You could blog about that process.
figure out what niche of writing you wantâtechnical is very different from marketing which can be different from social media which is not the same as PR.
challenge yourself to rewrite every piece of material you come across â emails, flyers, commercial scripts.
find local businesses that may be looking for âcreativeâ or âmarketingâ help.
