I have another interview coming soon, but your suggestion is definitely worth considering if things keep going south on the traditional job hunting.
I wonder what I could offer though; I can take photos and have been learning to edit them also. Writing – I don't know if I can make out of requirements, it has a risk of killing the joy for it altogether, but if the topic is really engaging I guess I could do it. Well, I get some ideas every now and then, but not sure how useful they are... Just thinking out loud.
