Build a good portfolio
- Include a cover letter in all applications
- Use a standard resume/cv
- Apply to different countries
- Acquire relevant certifications
- Network

-Use Google Docs or Microsoft Word to build your portfolio, use your best samples.

- Check specific countries for templates, some recruiters will require your picture to be in your cv, others don't want to see it

- Target English-speaking countries like US, UK

- Register on LinkedIn and Indeed to apply for various openings, network with other copywriters and those in your niche

- Don't use one cover letter repeatedly, be intentional about your application, each cover letter must be job-specific.

- Use any of those virtual schools to get a relevant certification, constant learning is key to improving.

Good morning boss,

I recently finished a course on technical writing and i was issued a certificate.
I am looking for a technical writing job, please i need your coaching on how to go about it.
