Thanks @Conor!

@Jessica McKeil I went ahead and did the unpaid test, with a note that I do not give them permission to use my copy or ideas, and that it was for test purposes only. (They agreed)
They really liked it and I got a second interview out of it, but I think they could tell I wasn't thrilled about the position and they ultimately went with someone else. Oh well, good interview practice.

Idealist also has a lot of cool remote opportunities posted, though I find most jobs require you to be based in the US

Linkedin, We Work Remotely, there's a new one called Remote Rocketship I check sometimes...

hey all, I have a question about the hiring process for a content writing position i am interviewing for currently. It's a part time position at a beauty brand company. I had a great first interview with them, and now they want me to do an unpaid "home assignment". The thing is, this assignment has 4 parts to it:
• Write a marketing email
• Write an Instagram post
• Write an Instagram reel
• Research their company and tell them what I like and dislike about their content, what I would change and why. AND provide other brands whose content I like and explain why, and how I could implement those strategies to their brand.
I'm interested in exploring this position further, but I'm very overqualified for the job, and this assignment seems really overkill. I'm tempted to just tell them that it's way too much unpaid work and I'm declining the offer. Or should I just go ahead and spend 2 or 3 hours doing all this?? Any advice appreciated ❤️

Haha true. I was experienced in the niche they were looking for. It was to be Head of Content for a digital media startup. I do think adding the cover letter helped me get the interview though 🙂

I got my last job through applying to a LinkedIn job ad. I noticed they asked for both a cover letter and a resume, but there was only the option to add a resume and nothing else. So I combined both in one PDF. I think most people just didnt bother sending in a cover letter because there was no clear option. I believe this helped me stand out because I found a way to get them what they wanted 😛

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to get more experience and break into the medical niche. Would a course like this be worth it? Anyone do that course or something similar? I have experience proofreading medical documents and writing / editing content related to the health industry. Any advice appreciated, thanks! 🙂
