Job Hunting Fun

Over the course of several days...

Me: I have 10 years of professional writing experience... here's my resume... here are some writing samples...

Potential Employer: Great, please send us some samples of articles you've written that are about [insert website topic here].

Me: Well, I don't actually have experience writing articles about this particular topic, but as you can see from my samples, I have written about x, y, and z with no prior knowledge of those topics, and have edited many articles on your chosen topic.

PE: Yes, but we're looking for a writer.

Me: Um, I AM a writer.

PE: If you think you can write articles from scratch, let us know.

Me: Um, I know how to research things on the Internets.

PE: Okay, I guess we can move forward, then. We pay $10 per article.

Me: Huh?
