Jobs don't open at this place very often, really.
No, I haven't done anything to improve myself or my skills as a journalist since I left.
I freelanced for publications for a while, including this one. I could have kept freelancing for this one, but with a full-time job it is impossible to interview people during the day and get the stories turned in by deadline.
If I were back to my old situation of working from home for myself with writing and editing clients, I would definitely get back to freelancing for them.
That's part of why I'm feeling like it's hopeless to apply. I haven't done anything to improve my skills or make them think I would be a better worker than I was back then.
