Sojourners’ Post

There is NO problem with Career Gaps. I often see recruiters abstaining from hiring people with career gaps. Yes, the industry changes every now and then. People NEED to keep up. But again, people are adaptable. They CAN learn. Being married and raising a family is awesome. Had an amazing time, but I wanted to work. Making your own money feels GREAT, and now I want to get BACK into the game. So, after 12 years of raising a family. I am looking for a remote writing role in Australia. If any company/person is looking for a Research Report Writer, let's talk today! Also, What motivates you to return to work? #CareerGaps #Remote #Adaptability #WorkLifeBalance #FamilyFirst

🤔 Here's my question for editorial hiring managers: Are we demanding too much subject-matter expertise when we hire? It's possible I've been guilty of doing so, and I resolve to think a bit more carefully about the need for "industry" experience when hiring in the future. Now here's the personal story that inspires the question. I recently interviewed for what I believed could have been my dream job -- a familiar managing editor role at a digital publisher, familiar staff size, familiar revenue sources, a startup at a familiar stage in its growth. I know the role intimately and have thrived in the role. The subject matter? Oh, just a personal hobby that has consumed my spare time for 35 years... a topic about which I've mused in hundreds of lengthy email newsletters that I've crafted and shared with a group of 15 friends over the years... a topic on which I've led more than 100 webcasts for that same audience. I would have crushed this job from Day 1, but I didn't land it because I have no professional experience in this space. During the interview, the hiring manager probed not only for evidence of my familiarity with the topic at hand, but also, it seemed, for my justification for thinking I might be able to break *in* to the "industry" without first paying some dues. The really interesting twist came when he lamented how folks like him in the industry find it difficult to break *out* into other editorial coverage areas in their careers, and he asked me for my advice on doing so. It cuts both ways! My take: Look for folks with the *skills* for the job (whether reporter or editor or other)... demand a certain level of *curiosity and respect* for the subject matter... but open your mind to candidates who can bring fresh questions, fresh perspectives, fresh ideas to your beats.

(Five years back) HR manager: Did you write content for the IT industry before? Me: Yes, I wrote a few articles before (In my mind: How can I? I am starting my career. But obviously, I am skilled, so I'll make my way for my career.). HR manager: OK. Why should we hire you? Me: I am an educated and experienced content writer whose profession is her passion. HR manager: Many candidates said this to us. How are you different? Me: I can prove my worth for free. I am willing to work for a month for free, and if you aren't satisfied during this period with my skill, please provide me with a termination letter. HR manager: OK, miss Mahr Un Nisa. That's all. We'll let you know our decision soon. (After a few days) HR manager: (On the phone) Congratulations, Miss Mahr. You're hired. You're welcome to join our company as a remote content writer. So, never underestimate the power of politics, content writer. You'll get anything with fair politics. Politics isn't always a matter of dirty games. Agree! #hrmanagers #contentwritingservices #hr
