Updated Submission Guidelines 3 May 2025

Blog Guidelines and Considerations for Submissions

for advocating for an international day related to Career and Livelihood. This blog is under the purview of the UNDCL Global Committee. Submit your contribution!

1. To eliminate copyright issues:

a. Do not include an image with your post because one will be selected from the Wix.

b. Do not include video unless you made it yourself. To included video made by a

different source:

i. Get a URL for your video because it will not be uploaded.

ii. Please be conservative when linking video to your submission. (i.e.TED Talks).

The Blog Master will watch the video before making the post. (Note: Most

people, especially students should not be burden with a video more than a

minute - five in length of time unless absolutely necessary.)

2. Profile Image: We need one for you!

Submit a photo as a jpg/jpeg the first time you submit. Include your highest

educational title (i.e. M.S., B.A., PhD.), country(ies) in which you reside, and professional title.

3. Edit your own work. Feedback will not be provided unless there is content that needs to

be rewritten or eliminated. Inappropriate or controversial comments will not be posted.

We tend to be secular in the materials we post. Ask your colleagues and friends to help

with editing your work.

4. Submit your entry using Arial, 12 pt (the preferred font and size).

5. Remember that the blog is international and for people from all walks of life and

socioeconomic backgrounds. Unless tied directly to the UN Day, avoid religious and

political commentary. Be culturally and humanity sensitive.

7. Be kind and patient with the Blog Master who, remember, is just one person.

8. Subscribe to the blog so that you get updates.

9. Remember to share the posts and overall blog on social media such as LinkedIn, Bluesky,

TikTok, and Instagram.

10. Communications about your post will be through LinkedIn. Make an profile there if you

do not have one. Include your LinkedIn address (link) in your submission.

13. Although submissions are preferred in English, we will accept any language. At this time,

we are able to provide a companion translation for posts written in Spanish and Brazilian

Portuguese. We will do our best with Google Mirror to provide a companion translation

if you post is written in a language other than the aforementioned ones.

14. You are appreciated. Thank you so very much.
