Advice column jobs provide guidance and commentary for readers of print or digital publications. In this role, you typically focus on a single subject, such as finance, health, career, or relationship needs, based on your area of expertise. Advice columnists often answer questions submitted directly from readers, though they may also address general questions commonly asked in the media. You may work exclusively for one particular newspaper or magazine, or you may write columns for several different print publications. Some industry-specific companies or websites may have advice columnists answer questions from their subscribers. Advice columns should not be confused with opinion columns, which expresses the writer's opinions on a subject, most often current events, rather than answering a reader's question.
