For any writers looking for a remote gig: I just saw that Vacation, the sunscreen brand with the super fun 80s retro branding, is hiring a copywriter and it's fully remote. Can't imagine many in/house gigs more fun than this one.

Gonna apply for it but i gotta say it is kind of crappy of them to ask you to do not one. But 3 creative assignments before submitting an application.

Or it means they'll adapt ideas from your submission for future campaigns whether they end up hiring you or not.. it happens too damn often and there aren't ample legal protections for creatives

they're openly sourcing free work from you, and laughing as they do it

Saw this posting too but was suspicious about how there's no salary range on the listing or anywhere online. The listing says "competitive salary". Kinda afraid that you'd put in effort for those 3 creative assignments resulting in a 30k offer "with employee equity options".

I applied before and did not even get a rejection email! Spent a lot of time understanding their brand voice and executing each assignment. It was a lot of fun! Very bummed that they couldn't send a quick email like "no thanks" lol

I got a offer from HCL as a Process Lead , Can someone let me know what would be my Key responsibility Areas and Profile.

Area- Applications

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?
