How do I list internships and freelance jobs on a resume

How do I list internships and freelance jobs on a resume?
My work history is kind of scattered,and I am not sure how to put it on a resume. I've been working as a freelance photographer for 3 years, had 3 internships prior to that, and was a photo editor before I began interning. Should I list the internships separately, or should I put everything under "experience" and list the positions as "intern"? Thank you!

I suggest you start by prioritizing your skills and experience - taking into account what will matter most to the employer you're targeting. Put your most compelling attributes in a 'skills summary' section at the top of your resume. Then decide whether you will present yourself best by placing your experience in categories or in a job-by-job list. It doesn't sound as if your experience is all that diverse - it all seems to relate to the photographic field! So you could present your experience in a reverse chronological manner. But even if you choose the so-called 'functional resume' approach, you can still list your work history underneath the categories of skills. Many employers feel more comfortable being able to see your work history at a glance - even if you choose to give higher prominence to the skills. Check out the site below for more ideas and examples. Good luck

How to look for freelance Flash Actionscript Jobs in Singapore


How to look for freelance Flash Actionscript Jobs in Singapore?
Hi I am a actionscript programmer for over three years now. Recently, I've decided to start looking for freelance jobs but I realised I don't even know the market trends, what to quote for projects, that kind of stuff. Can anyone who have done freelance in Singapore help? Like what are the important things I should take note when I take on freelance projects? And what are the best places to look for actionscript jobs as I am not much of a designer. Thanks!

Those "throw-away," newspaper may hire you as a writer, with a Journalism certifiate, but not a legimate Daily newspaper. Freelance jobs often go to the interns that were at the newspaper.
2 :
Difficult--you need some experience first. Go to the US Department of Labor Job Description site. The site should help you answer the rest of your questions about a position in journalism.

I'll assume you mean journalism degree. Most newspapers of any size prefer some experience, so you'll have to start low -- small daily papers, weeklies, etc. The money isn't too good, but the experience is invaluable. Then you can think about moving up. Once you get your foot in the door, you can start thinking about freelancing. But you need some clippings first.
