Copywriting?

Picture it: Along with thousands of your similarly aged and similarly qualified peers, you are finally finished with your BA in English. So, now what? Being that you’re probably not going to spend either a) years in squalor in your parents’ basement or b) thousands of more dollars in going to graduate school, you’re going to have to find a (wait for it...) job. But not just any job. Nope, those entry-level, secretarial, paper schlepping part-times are no longer in your trajectory. So, what’s next?

Well, you have this document saying you are a literate, functional (well, let’s hope) human with a relatively decent grasp on the English language so why not put it to good use?

Copywriting is one such profession that has yet to go out of style. Businesses are always going to need good writers to help promote their products, be it an ad agency or a small firm specializing in gardening supplies. Just remember: If it can be sold, it probably has some writing attached to it in an attempt to sell it to someone else. Those pamphlets, brochures, mailers and online descriptions aren’t written by disembodied businessmen and women, they’re crafted by professional copywriters, who are embodied and most importantly, employed. This kind of position is perfect for the Facebook generation as you’re expected to be familiar with the internet in addition to publishing and editing software.
Since you’re working to attain a specialized position, it only makes sense to search for such a job in a similar platform. At copywriterjobs.net/, thousands of new jobs are posted each day in numerous cities all over the country in all manner of industry.
