Prepare yourself through schooling. Most people in the copywriting industry have at least a two year degree. If you can afford to do this, do it. It will benefit you for a long time down the road. Often times, getting a four year degree is beneficial to getting into the bigger companies. Some schools offer internships which can be an outstanding way to get your foot in the door. Hopefully, they will hire you right after the internship and youll be set. If not, you will need to pursue other companies, but you will have this real world experience.
Place yourself in the right company environment. If you want to find jobs in copy writing, dont settle for something in an unrelated field. Instead, look for a small start in the right career.
Work on your
portfolio. By putting together a good quality portfolio and keeping it up to date, you will land a nice secure copywriting job through the experience you have. While no copy writing jobs are too small in the beginning, down the road they will pile up to help you land the best of the best.
The employment that you want is available. But, you must be prepared when you do get the right interview to wow them. Impressing them through your college education and degrees is a great way to start. Take on small contracts in order to build a quality portfolio to present. Polish your resume if you do not already have a solid one.
Freelance copywriting jobs are available. It is up to you to be prepared for them when they are ready for you.
