How to Tell If You’ll be a Great Fit

You embrace the writing grind. There is an endless queue of new posts and updates that we need to ship. Just finished a blog post? Great! Time for briefs. Got those done? Back to another post. There’s a mountain of content for us to work through, that shouldn’t be daunting.
You’re a top tier writer and can make any topic engaging. No matter how technical or dry, you take pride in finding the interesting core, putting it front and center, and then crafting engaging copy to keep the reader hooked all the way to the end.
You can write very succinctly. You realize that folks want instant answers these days. You know how to give them want they want without bogging them down with any fluff.
You should have extensive experience with the business communications category. We don’t care if it comes up on your resume, but you need to have a lot of exposure already. You should know the space really well, know the standard best practices, and have plenty of unique takes. You should also be really excited about going deeper, you’ll have to take a “no stone unturned” approach to close any gap in your knowledge, no matter how small.
You don’t dread writing about the same topic extensively. We prefer to go really deep in our primary categories. Even after your 100th post, you can still get excited to come up with unique approaches for that same content.
You can learn new spaces incredibly quickly. The majority of your work will be in your assigned category. But you will be asked to scope briefs for content outside your normal expertise. And to give feedback for posts in other categories. You’re the type of writer that can get up to speed in a new area before others have even learned the basics.
With your writing, you say things that haven’t been said before. This is not a SEO content mill job, we need to stand out. We have to have strong opinions. If something is nonsense, we should say so. And if there’s a oddball recommendation that actually works, we should stand by it. You’re the type of writer that has no problems standing out.
