So, I’m scoping a project that will require a freelance copywriter to be pulled in. I’m based in the DC area and received a quote for a senior copywriter’s freelance rate of $90/hour. I’ve worked with her before and she’s really good—wasn’t aware of her rate until recently. Does this rare feel too low to anyone?

That’s right where it should be; and a good rate.

Thanks! Was hoping that’d be the case.

It’s competitive. I’d bump up to 100

Agree with this. Or $110.

I think it’s low for ATL ad work, but not sure what kind of project this is.

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
