Is long-form copywriting part of your job? Or just short-form like social posts, ads, and SEO?

If you only write short-form, would being able to create longer pieces provide more job satisfaction/enjoyment? Or are you just fine with the shorter stuff?

Great question! I do both, but never thought of doing them exclusively. But after doing it for 10 years, neither is satisfying anymore. Although, my short-form content I reflect back on with greater fondness.

I’m fine w shorter stuff - I think it allows me to experiment more freely and that helps me keep my work interesting on a day to day basis :)

It might also depend on why you became a writer. I love long form, so if my everyday was just seo and social, I'd probably go crazy, but I work with so many people who would rather write quick short form aaaany day. I do a lot of blogging and professional writing on behalf of our c-suite staff, and it's so much fun to step into someone else's shoes to try and convey a message on their behalf. I can't imagine if I couldn't do it anymore.

Recruiter reached out a few weeks ago about an ER role. I don’t have the finance background but want to pivot. I had a first round interview that I thought I bombed but I got a second. Did a stock pitch that was fairly good, didn’t know all the technical questions tho. I followed up day of, and recruiter asked to have a quick chat next day. She asks me about salary & availability to start and says she’ll try and get an update from the team. I haven’t heard & im wondering if I got rejected

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level). I applied and they offered me the position, but are telling me I need to start out at the regular specialist level. To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
