Kateryna Kushnir , editor, content marketer, author of the Telegram channel "Not just an editor" , shared several observations, or rather, tried to dispel several mistakes. As always, the topic applies not only to content marketing, and the tips will be useful in any field. There are too many demands on authors, I don't know how to do everything right and I'm afraid to do something wrong Everyone around is writing about requirements and rules, because of this it can be felt that all editors, recruiters, etc. expect only perfect reviews, test tasks and work from authors. Of course, when a person sees repeated mistakes by authors, he wants to tell how not to do it - and he writes something about it. But in fact, everyone understands that there are no perfect people . If your skills are suitable for the project and you behave appropriately, no one in their right mind will complain. And you don't need an employer, do you? Usually, the general impression of work and the level of comfort from communication are evaluated - therefore, random typographical errors, errors in design and other things by themselves rarely affect anything, only if they add up to significant disadvantages.
I have to do as I am comfortable, not as someone demands, let them C Level Executive List bend under me The reality is that no one owes anything to anyone , especially those who are not yet connected by working relationships. It seems to me that it is important to understand here that the goal of relations with clients is mutually beneficial cooperation, not rivalry. In some ways, you meet, for example, you work according to the algorithm established by the company and achieve KPI, in some ways they meet you - for example, they give you interesting tasks, a good salary and a convenient work schedule. When it comes to some specific demand, it's useless to try to convert people from the other side, although you have the right to decide whether to refuse it or accept it. In this case, it is better to make the wrong choice based on emotions.
Example, I'm an introvert and a sociophobe and I didn't like calling before - I didn't even just dislike it, I actually couldn't communicate by voice. I had three options: to demand that they communicate with me in writing - but I understand that this is pointless, will not give results and interferes with work; to work with projects where calls are not needed or almost not needed - but I am depriving myself of a huge number of opportunities, this is to my detriment; learning how to solve problems on calls opens me up to a ton of projects. Of course, I chose the third option as the most adequate and useful for me - and now it is often easier for me to call than to text. General conclusion: any client requirement is not just a whim , and any skill you have is only your choice. And only you decide - whether you need to learn something or not. From the side of the employer, it is arranged in the same way.
