Anyone here write case studies? I don’t need a site or a design, just the copy for my site. I have done it in the past but I’m too busy and also creatively blocked for next stage of my career. I need to do it to prep for my next search in 2022. I am looking for a manager or principal role and want my stories to reflect that. I may want a couple of blog posts and a PowerPoint deck or two.

You’re either taking the piss or not worthy of the positions you’re seeking. You’ll be judged on your ability to write the case studies, tell the story, and sell the work. That’s part of the job. If I hired you and found out you outsourced it I would be pissed

When I scan a portfolio I’m looking at use of language and storytelling. If I’m not hearing your authentic voice, or there’s a mismatch when we talk, that’s a big red flag for me

Giving someone else the information they need to write your case study is going to take 3 times as long as you just writing your own case study…

True, I knew this but feel mentally stuck so maybe will just find another way to get unstuck

I feel like being able to know what parts of the story to tell fits into the skills you should have to get that role. Not saying you don't have them but it would be good practice to do this yourself. I don't see anything wrong with hiring someone to help you polish it or review it.

What exactly is the ask? Do you want someone to write a case study for you to use on your portfolio site? Or are you looking for a coach or advise to help you get unblocked?

Write the case study

What subject is the case study supposed to focus? Written several case studies for
UN agencies, corporates and governments across EU, US, India, Indonesia and China. DM with details of the ask

Don't overthink it. What was the objective of the project; why did it matter? What was performed -- and how did you lead -- to deliver the outcome? And, what was the outcome; how did it make a difference or deliver some benefit?

meta: how did your presence on the project make any appreciable difference?
