Guidelines for Guest Post - Open to Blog writers

Guidelines for Guest Posts


For the past 10 years, all content has been 100% written and curated by me - Sharon B. Cohen. 

Due to requests, I'm now accepting guest posts on a limited basis. Thanks for your interest in writing a guest post for "My Career Manager" blog. I only review completed posts -- not headlines or concepts. I am selective in accepting guest posts.  Please follow these guidelines:
  • You must be a subject matter expert or a current/recent job seeker who is going through/recently went through the topic about which you are writing. We do not accept guest submissions from people just looking to get a link back to their site.
  • Present new ideas, fresh perspectives, and unique approaches which we haven’t seen elsewhere online. What can you offer that will make the reader think? What haven’t they thought of or tried yet? Read my blog to learn what I've covered in the past.
  • All work must be original, provided exclusively to this site.
  • Everything must be properly cited – links, images, etc. Basically, we should be able to hit publish as soon as it arrives in our inbox.
  • Include a headline and a bio.
  • Our readers come from a broad range of industries, so we prefer broadly-based posts, not geared to 1 particular industry.       
Exclusivity

What does it mean to be exclusive? In short, you wrote this post for this site only. You didn’t submit it elsewhere with the intent of seeing who will pick it up first. You are welcome to write on similar topics elsewhere; however, the post that we run should appear only on our blog.

Topics

Our readers are business professionals, job seekers, employers (hiring managers, HR pros, and recruiters). Topics we’re interested in include:
  • Social Media optimization & resources
  • Career Change for Business Professionals
  • Job search success stories
  • Career management advice from experts
  • Attracting, hiring, and retaining advice (for hiring managers, HR pros, or recruiters)
Formatting and Submission

Write your post in a Word document and save it. Please submit to us below. Make sure all links are active. Some things to keep in mind when formatting:
  • Bold your headline
  • Post length – 1,000-1,200 words
  • Keywords – write with a single keyword in mind. The keyword should be included in your headline, first paragraph, and final paragraph at a minimum. 
  • Break up your post by using a bulleted or numbered list or sub-headlines.
  • Include a post image with a tagged hashtag, back to this site and the topic. 
  • Links – The body of your post itself cannot contain promotional links. If it does, we may reject your post altogether. Again, links must be 100% relevant.
Editing

We reserve the right to edit all posts. For minor edits, we’ll make them without informing you first. On occasion, we’ll send a post back if we think it’s a good topic but could use more work and needs a re-write. 

Bio

Please include a bio in 2-3 sentences. You may link to your blog, your website, your professional social media profiles, etc. However, we do ask that you only include a maximum of two links. Please write your bio in the third person.
