I graduated from uni back in July of last year and have since taken some time to build up a portfolio of written work. The aim is to post it on my LinkedIn to start getting paid work and breaking out of a career in retail.

My port folio is almost complete with over fifteen articles and I’ve started to think about getting it posted online but it has come to my attention that I have no idea if it will actually get seen by the right people. The majority of my connections are university lecturers or course mates, which really limits my reach.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips for making sure my work gets out there and on how to expand my network.

I should also add that I currently live in Scotland and I am extremely interested in moving to London or Manchester for work as there are far more creative opportunities that. However, that only adds to the complications of getting my work seen.
