Sharing for reach… And ATTENTION HIRING MANAGERS/anyone hiring, a challenge…can you close your roles by end of June? Great candidates are available and ready to start. I know goals are waiting to be met when the team is filled. #hiring #candidatesarewaiting #meetbusinessgoals

The job search is incredibly discouraging. It is disappointing. It makes you feel like you're not good enough for anything no matter how hard you've worked in your career, how much time you spent rehearsing for interviews, all the late hours spent tweaking and perfecting your resume and portfolio. There is also a great deal of shame that comes with this process, and trying to combat that while simultaneously keeping your fingers crossed for something to stick, is just as hard as it is to find a job. All I can wonder is what I am doing wrong, what I haven't done enough. It. Is. The. Worst. BUT, I AM STILL going to keep at it. I am STILL available for immediate hire: full time, freelance, and contract. I am open to ALL roles, whether in-office, hybrid, or remote. If anyone is looking for a senior copywriter/UX writer who is itching to get back to work, PLEASE message me. I am beyond ready to get back to doing what I love, wherever it takes me. Check out my portfolio if you're interested: ashannamolokwu.com. I have also attached my resume.

I have promised myself this one thing long back No matter what… But I would always be honest in job applications and during 1:1 conversations with clients. Trust me, I've seen many people talk about things they don't really understand. That’s their perspective, but my approach operates differently. One thing I've noticed is that being honest has led me to many rejections. But it has never forced me to discuss things I can't bring to the table.   As a freelance writer (currently seeking the right work opportunities) Honesty has helped me in: ✅Trust Building ✅Setting Clear Expectations ✅Building a Positive Reputation ✅Client Satisfaction ✅Personal Growth & Values ✅Effective Conflict Resolution ✅Better Project Fit ✅Improved Negotiation ✅Getting Deserving Compensation & Accurate Pricing You may face many rejections or have less business, but you'll be happy knowing you stayed true to yourself.

Making the switch...Need advice. Cracking the Corporate Code: A Freelancer's Guide to Landing a Full-Time Creative Gig For years, I've thrived in the trenches of freelance production. I've shepherded TV, film, and branded content projects from concept to completion, mastering the art of the hustle. Now, my sights are set on a new challenge: a stable, full-time creative role within a corporate environment. The transition, however, feels like navigating a labyrinth. I've revamped my resume to speak the corporate language, and my cover letters are tailored to each job description. Still, the path forward remains shrouded in mystery and rejection letters. So to that I am writing to all of the recruiters, head hunters, companies and anyone else that might have had this struggle and how you dealt with the same road blocks and what advice you might have to offer.

Morning people‼️ So, I was looking into so many freelance writing jobs to get a chance for showcasing my skills and experience. What I found❓️ 1️⃣ Recruiters post a job role just for the sake of posting. No replies, no courtesy at all. 2️⃣ One thing which I noticed ... their criteria. I am literally confused, whether they are looking for a writer, graphic designer or social media manager. (May be searching for a super man/woman with all three qualities 🤔) 3️⃣ Another important thing is the hands on experience. Well, I have a serious question here ... With 5 years of experience is it possible to pay market competitive amount for a skilled professional? Low hourly rates not only demotivate the writers but also, lessen the interest towards your job opening. So, think, think & think before posting!!! Good luck 👍

New year! Old job hunt. And the thing I've learned about being unemployed is... I need a job. Jokes aside, I AM still looking for my next job, contract, and/or gig. And let me tell you, it’s important that I find something much much sooner rather than later. I am a storyteller and creative thinker who thrives on a team and has a passion for learning new things. My goal is a job that is writing-based and/or has a creative focus. ✍ Writing-wise, I'm in the market for jobs such as synopsis writing (previously wrote synopses for Netflix), script/creative/content writing (playwright with many years of experience in many genres), technical writing (have written many a process document), and copywriting (experience here too. less obvious, but I can tell you about it). I should not forget to mention a yes to Theatre/TV/Film sort of work. I also have an extensive background in dialogue writing and story structure (playwright). 📖 Editing and creative-wise, here’s what I’m exploring: script consulting and editing (see above note about being a playwright), copy/blog/newsletter editing (from a new play literary magazine to internal documents to personal blog posts, there is so much editing to be had), and dramaturgy and research (Hi, it’s me. I’m the playwright, it’s me.). ✅ Other-wise: I am, of course, always widening my search and open to other opportunities. I have skills related to data-entry, metadata, administrative support, and transcription, to name a few. I prefer remote work but am based in NYC and can be in office. I am also happily picking up freelance work at this time including writing bios, script consulting, writing coaching, feedback facilitation, transcription, editing, dramaturgy and research, and/or synopsis-writing for new plays. If you need any of those sorts of things, let’s talk! This post is long, likely too long, but hopefully it’s a good glimpse into who I am and what I’m looking for (while also trying to hint at the gravity of the situation without sounding too desperate…is it working??). If you know of job opportunities, have leads, introductions, and/or referrals, I’d really appreciate it. A like and a share goes a long way too. Also, comments…that are nice…I’ll take them. To put a button on this post, here’s a photo of me looking to the horizon of new opportunities. Thank you! #opentowork #writer #creative #editor #storyteller

With the current job market being more complicated and nuanced these days, I’ve been seeing more and more posts about freelance or contract work. In the spirit of collaboration, I’m curious of thoughts around this, especially within creative spaces such as writing, editing, marketing, etc. Do you feel more freelance or contract roles are available than full-time? Is this something you’d prefer? Does it seem like it’s more of a risky option for stability as an employee? #jobseekers #fulltime #writers #marketing

Human exclamation point is the best description for such a lovely person.

#cfbr (commenting for better reach)   In my previous post, I mentioned that I'm open to the right work opportunities. Some of my known connections commented #cfbr, but honestly, that didn't help. I will keep posting until I get what I want😃 Please leave meaningful comments, not just #cfbr.
