Which companies are actively hiring for journalists? (pt 2) So many companies you would not think of as "traditional media" are leaning into journalism talent to bolster their editorial efforts. It makes sense - storytelling is a valuable skill. And as brands look to break out of the mold competing with AI-gen content, hiring established + credible authors is a smart strategy for breaking through the noise. A few on my radar this week: Financial News Editor @ moomoo - https://lnkd.in/eZhVsjYT (this one literally has Journalism degree as a pref/req) Editor @ Moda Operandi, Inc - https://lnkd.in/eyBE5P59 - "Reporting to the Editorial Director, the role... generates editorial storytelling across all categories, which include Fashion, Beauty, Home, Lifestyle and Fine Jewelry." Senior Editor @ WebMD - https://lnkd.in/ekXaYbiq Director, Content Marketing @ Riskified - https://lnkd.in/e3YeZ-Bj Truly all shapes + sizes. What other companies are hiring for great editorial talent?

🚨Head of Content job alert 🚨 My friends at Beam Content 💡 are hiring! I’ve been doing fractional managing editor work for them the past few months to fill a gap. Well, they’re now ready to bring on their 4th full time hire. Here’s what my experience of working with Beam has been like: -Amazing team. I didn’t know it was possible to get this many nice people in a room at once. -Amazing freelancers. Holy shit. It’s been an absolute pleasure editing drafts. Their writers are literally dripping with talent. -Fascinating work. I’ve been running interviews with extremely smart SMEs about cutting edge topics. It’s heady in the best way. -Insane organization. This group is on top of their shit. I don’t know how else to say it. It’s frictionless. -Different, in the best way. They don’t focus on SEO. They’re more interested in content driven by conversations that actually help buyers make decisions. I haven’t had to squeeze in even one keyword. (Don’t come for me SEO! I said different, not necessarily better). Alright enough from me. They’re got a job description up on Superpath. Gonna pop it right here. https://lnkd.in/e7zmXUCe Two favors: 1. I have zero control over the hiring decision so please don’t DM me about it, just apply! 2. Please comment for reach! Let’s make waves so Beam and the perfect candidate can find each other and live happily ever after. Cheers!

More good editing jobs!

Seriously, H&M? 5-10 years for a copywriter? Just saw a job listing for a copywriter at H&M that requires 5-10 years of experience. Are you kidding me? So basically, young professionals like me can't even get a FOOT in the door because we haven't been writing ads since high school? Don't get me wrong, I respect the value of experience.  But companies are missing out on a HUGE pool of talent by focusing solely on years on a resume. Young people bring fresh ideas, a willingness to soak up knowledge like a sponge, and a work ethic that could power a small city. We might not have a decade under our belt, but we bring passion, fresh perspectives, and the drive to make a real impact. So please, be sane and give us at least a chance to participate in competition 😒
