A weekly roundup of job-hunting tips, career advice and interesting articles relevant to the magazine industry and being an editor.

"7 Tips for Being the Best Editorial Intern Ever" by Ashley Ross on Ed2010.com. Excellent advice for anyone doing an internship at a magazine. Follow these tips and you'll stand out from other interns.
