you need to jump to all the bandwagons your fellow writers are jumping, hype the same bands even if you don't like them; have no self esteem and be ready to get called "frustrated musician" for the rest of your life.
seriously though.
i've asked around some mags and stuff, like savage clone says, you need to have your own voice and a way with the written word or you'll be a fact checker for life. i wholly recommend you start writing for or start your own fanzine to a) refine your writing style b) get experience c) establish your name and d) build a portfolio (a selection of articles to show to your future employers).
from there, start sending resumes and asking around magazines.
