As a writer from the US looking to move to Europe, would I have a better chance applying to agencies in The UK or someplace where being a native English speaker is less common, like France?

Apart from the agency how will you be legal to work?

The UK market is so large I think you'd have better luck there. I just moved and got a job before landing. I searched throughout the rest of Europe but found most writing opportunities require you to be bilingual. If you're really keen on not being in the UK I'd say try and make some contacts before landing who know where there's a need for English speaking writers. I think red sofa helps creatives move to Berlin.

If the point in non English speaking countries is to create ads for local market, then being a native English speaker won't be any advantage even if less common. I think you need to focus on searching where and/or for what opportunity native English speakers are needed vs. a specific location being the driver.

Any chance you do medical/healthcare?

McCann is always looking for writers!

Not a medical/healthcare writer

Best agencies in Europe (Germany, France, Sweden) also hire US and English CW. Very common.

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
