Here’s a tip for job seekers in the content writing or copywriting space.
Showcase your persuasive skills.
Not just English proficiency.
In your resume.
In your cover letter.
In the tests they ask you to do.
To get there, first craft a winning answer to this question (practice it in writing and in speech) before the big day.
“Why should I hire you?”
This is an oft-asked question in almost every written or face-to-face interview
(No, it is NOT just your resume).
Nine out of ten candidates go off-track here.
And miss the golden chance to really nail it.
Here are 4 very simple steps to ace this.
- Touch upon that company’s pain points
- Showcase your expertise in overcoming them
- Back it up with some credibility
- Master the art of subtle persuasion
It’s about persuasion and influencing another person and success in life – in any endeavour – depends on how expert you are at this skill.
Copywriting doesn’t exist merely within the pages of a website, a blog or an ad campaign.
It’s in the very lives you lead and want to lead.
