Writers’ Roundup: April 5

It’s Friday! You know what that means…

Here are this week’s best reads for writers:

• What do growth marketing, content creation, and information architecture have in common? They’re among 10 job skills startups will kill for, Scott Gerber says on Mashable.

• Fabulous rant from Seth Godin about the new world of work. Stop waiting for an employer to pick you and choose yourself!

• Along those same lines, Jeff Goins, who is now a full-time writer, reminds us not to wait for permission.

• The eternal solopreneur question: should I work for free? Ryan Ferrier at 60-Day MBA shares his (super practical and oh-so-helpful) views in a video.

• Amber Rae reminds us that all decisions are progress while discussing when to quit and when to stick.

• Feeling stuck at work? Ramit Sethi and Ben Casnocha talk about how to handle a career crossroads.

• Need a job? Invent it, says Thomas Friedman for The New York Times. You could say I’m a fan of that approach!

Enjoy your weekend!
