Landing My First Magazine Job: 6 Very Different Stories

Just like you, magazine editors worked as unpaid interns, racing across Manhattan carrying designer garment bags, or heading back out into the sweltering heat for two more necessary man-on-the-street interviews.

Now Hiring

Everyone knows it’s tough to land your first job in magazines, and with unemployment still at 10% and pubs shuttering by the minute, the job search has gotten way harder. But five editorial assistant candidates have stood out and gotten hired in the past few months despite the odds against them. Read on to hear how they did it and how you can be next.

Ed knows you don’t have to be clairvoyant to see the following things coming, but he’s going to look into his crystal ball anyway. Here’s what he predicts happening in the coming year.*

1. All print editors will have to do online work.
The print-only peeps who were resistant to all things web will need to broaden their horizons a bit this year, if they haven’t already. Everyone, save the top two or three at each mag, will have to blog, produce slide shows, or otherwise contribute to their magazines’ sites.

2. Hiring freezes will thaw mid-year.

“That’s a noise,” grinned the Grinch, “That I simply MUST hear!”
So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the West Side.
It started in low. Then it started to grow…

But the sound wasn’t sad! Why, this sound sounded merry!
It couldn’t be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!

He stared down at Who-ville! The Grinch popped his eyes!
Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise!

Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
from hipsters to Wall Street workers, Was singing! Without any company holiday party at all!
