It can be challenging if you don’t know where to look or all you see from freelance platforms like Upwork are low-paying writing jobs.

Have you been on LinkedIn lately? I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about ultra-long job interview process steps, multiple people involved, and at the end of all the hoops candidates go through, they are told they didn’t get the job.

Much of the time, we use tools like ChatGPT to answer questions. Search engines like Google have trained us for decades to interact with the internet in this question-and-answer format. “Where can I find the best price for an all-inclusive vacation in Cancun?” “How do I make coffee with a percolator?” We bring those same habits to models like ChatGPT, or hybrid tools like Perplexity.ca.

“We’re taking content in-house”. It’s a perfectly plausible thing for a brand to do, but it was a kick in the teeth for me. I’d kept my diary light for the next month to accommodate a huge new contract I’d picked up, but the client decided not to renew and to take their content in-house instead. It happens, but it still sucks, however many times it’s happened.

Few things are as potentially confusing (or grating) as jargon in business writing. It’s true that jargon can sometimes be a convenient shorthand when you’re communicating quickly to someone you’re pretty sure will understand you.
