As the title says, I've been a copywriter for 10 years, pretty much mostly in-house. I've worked on campaigns and drafting them up, I've done the nitty gritty head down writing, I've worked for bigger clients like Wheel of Fortune. I've written more blogs than I can remember. I have once again been laid off, this time because I was in the automotive world and 1) tariffs hit hard and 2) the company that sent my company work built their own in-house copy team, so the work dried up. Last time this happened, it took me two years to find a copywriting job and I started working as a bartender in hotels to get by when I wasn't on tour as a musician. I've somehow been able to balance everything. Where I'm at now, and maybe you all can help: which roles would you recommend I transfer to or how can I make myself seem more valuable as a copywriter? I've known the work was drying up, so I started applying elsewhere, but I keep getting the automated "we appreciate your interest" rejection emails. I can post my resume, I can send my portfolio. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong, and I feel like I need some coaching to get my next job because I can't be out of work for another two years. I can switch jobs, I don't see copywriting ever making a comeback. Just looking for help here.   submitted by   /u/yergonnamakemedrum [link]   [comments]
