How I Found My Blogging Job

One woman's story of how she became a professional blogger. This a guest post by Kelly Wilson. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines.

Australia is known as the lucky country, a phrase first coined by Professor Donald Horne back in the 60’s, although he did it with a sense of sarcasm at the time. But today Australia really is regarded as a pretty lucky place to be.
