Out of curiosity how does a ghost writer work? And how one goes about contacting one?

Serious answer: there are literary agencies that specialize in ghostwriters. You can reach out to a handful and see if they suit your needs.

@Senior Art Director - you do not give bullet points and let them write it. You write it verbally in a way. Ghost writers spend hundreds of hours with the "author" to get their vision on the page. They are your scribe but you are the writer/the muse. It's a lot of work to have a book ghost written. The stories are yours, the tone is yours. the only way for a ghost writer to capture that is to spend a lot of time talking with you and interviewing you. It's rarely used for fiction, ghost writers are primarily used for nonfiction and autobiographies.

I applied to a job opening on Accenture site on Nov. 16. Around Dec 16, my profile got rejected, without any calls or emails. I was told that I could apply only after 6 months. So, I replied on May 20th (6 months from Nov. 16). I got a message saying that the profile already exists. So, I waited for some more time and applied on June 18tg. This is the message I got [We already have this resume in our database which we received from you or some other sources] How long do I still need to wait?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?
