So you're a copywriter?

Freelance Copywriters needed for general creative projects, social media, TTL  campaigns and stuff - must be able to come up with better words than "stuff".

Had a chat to one of my clients about copywriters today. Funny because this week I screened 450 copywriters for one role only to find 10 are suitable to shortlist. Out of that 10 probably 5 will be suitable to send to the client and only 1 will be booked.

There are 3 different kind of copywriters a deal with:

Product Copywriters
Jr 100 to 150 per day
Mid 150 to 170 per day
Snr 200 per day

Content Copywriters
Jr 100 to 150 per day
Mid 150 to 170 per day
Snr 200 to 230 per day


Creative Copywriters
Jr 150 to 200
Mid 200 to 230 per day
Snr 250 to 350 per day

Product and Content writers usually have an English Language qualification or Journalism / blogger backgrounds.

Creative Copywriters will have an advertising qualification and be from an ad agency.

January 2015 - The eyes chico, they never lie

I hope you all had a good break and have enjoyed the first week back to work.

As always, January brings new hope, but also new CVs as job seeking activity increases by about 37%.

Todays winner of the bizarre CV award goes to this chap who sent me his CV which included this unusual image of (I presume) his eyes.
