I think I’m going to do a series of outrageous job postings on here. I found it entertaining, maybe you will too! Here’s one I came across today. This company is looking to hire a social media and marketing associate who is expected to do the role of a content specialist, video and photographer, editor, graphic designer, social media manager, community manager, digital marketing specialist, SEO specialist, while also supporting other marketing activations. I understand the role of a social media marketer can be difficult to understand and hugely varies from one organization to the other but I am confident this here is the ideal definition of unrealistic expectations. Also note, the salary is not mentioned. If this company does however, finds someone who claims they can manage all of this, the output is sure to be mediocre at best. Companies, please invest in good talent. This will give you the ROI you so earnestly desire. And job seekers, please do not sell yourself short. Companies get away with this because there’s always someone desperate enough to cave and go for soul sucking jobs like this. Know your worth and stick to it. 🙏🏾 #joblisting #socialmedia #jobposting

As someone who does content creation as a Full time gig job descriptions like the one below are appalling. The title of this Job is “Content Creator”. But if you read the description you’ll find that not only are you asking someone to drive your entire social media content creation in the confined space of your retail store you’re ALSO asking them to be a retail store manager, social media manager, videographer, and editor??? At this point those roles are expected on SMM job descriptions. But to then tell this person they’re also a floor retail sales manager from 9-5 M-S is outrageous. And the best part? 45-50k a year based on experience…. Essentially a Content Creator, a Multi Platform Social media manager and a retail store manager/sales associate for the same average salary of a entry level graphic design position. Companies have to stop thinking social media managers and content creators are easy jobs that you can do In your spare time and breaks. We gotta do better.

A quick reminder that hiring a social media manager doesn't mean they will also be your: ✍️ Blog Writer 🖊 Copywriter 📧 Email Marketer 🤳 Content Creator 🧑 Admin Assistant 🎨 Graphic Designer 💻 Website Designer 💰 Paid Ads Specialist 📱 Community Manager 📸 Photographer/Videographer I've seen far too many roles advertised recently that expect a job candidate to do all of the above within a 40 hour week. Each of these is a full-time job in its own right. By expecting someone to do all of this within normal working hours, you're setting them up to fail. (And don't get me started on the salary expectations that come with these job adverts). If you're someone advertising similar, you need to do better.

It has become a struggle to find remote work after maternity break in the advertising industry, no support for the child. It seems that my experience of 7 years in the advertising industry as a copywriter/ brand manager has gone to waste. Everyone talks about supporting women, helping new moms to get back to work but there aren’t enough opportunities or facilities to support the same. #jobs #advertising #newmom #copywriter
