https://imgur.com/a/kNusqY1 I've been a cw for nearly 20 years and this pissed me off. I know it's increasingly common nowadays, but I shouldn't have to give them 4-6 hours of my time working on a full brief of their product just to be considered for the role. Multiply that by however many applicants there are, and they've got an army of free workers whose writing they can use to train an AI (or just use the work itself slightly tweaked). Sorry if I sound like a graybeard dinosaur grandpa of the industry yelling at cloud here, but I'm tempted to reply back that I'd be happy to do it for my usual freelance rate that I've worked up to up for nearly two decades. Is this just how the job search is nowadays to narrow down applicants? Do I need to just stfu and do it? oh and the deliverables for this were like: -30-60 second script -Full landing page with headers, two paragraphs, cta -Five social posts (again with a video script) -Headlines and taglines -A paragraph about how *they* can improve their brief   submitted by   /u/stopthatmonkey [link]   [comments]
