Friends,
I applied for a job to write for the ad agency that operates the auto buying service for a big box retailer you’ve heard of. Had a couple interviews that went well and waited to hear word on their decision for what seemed like far too long. Eventually, they passed.
While I was waiting, I heard from a recruiter who thought I’d be great for an opening at a flooring company minding their database of dimensions and color profiles. I did that for Hewlett Packard half a lifetime ago and it led to some big things. As long as I’m starting my career over, might as well start over from the beginning.
Okay, this will make you mad: I went through a couple interviews and poured my guts out, then waited for far too long, again. When they finally made their decision, they decided to go with nobody and hire an agency to do the work. It’d be less expensive, they said.
So yes, I’m back at it. If you know anybody who needs a copywriter, let me know!
Your pal,
– bob
