Just encountered yet another scammer trying to get my information as a freelance writer. This one is posing as a Human Resources Vice President for the company Vastly.com, formerly thecompany.com, which does seem to be a legitimate company. The man, “Curtis Kibbey” requested an interview with me via Microsoft Teams, and sent me a full description of the proofreader job I would be doing for $35 an hour. (Why is it always $35?) I did my due diligence and everything seemed fine until the interview was conducted via messaging? Why not just hop on a call? And then the reassurance that I would be supplied with everything I needed to work from home. Why would I need special equipment to proofread documents? Then when I asked to hop on a call, I was met with rude and insulting language. Ding. Ding. Ding. Red flag. So, watch out all my fellow freelancers out there! Careful not to get scammed. #Vastly #scammers #fakejobs #freelancewriters #freelancejobs #proofreader #Editor

I saw yet another job post hiring “Freelance Writers” without any real details. 🙄 🚫 Scope of Work? What am I writing? Articles, SEO content, or video scripts? 🚫 Deliverables? How often do you expect work? An article a day, or one per week? 🚫 Experience Level? Are we talking newbies or seasoned freelancers with years of experience under their belts? 🚫 Niche? Most writers have their niche. My niche is personal finance. There will be writers who have expertise in beauty, healthcare etc. 🚫 Budget? Don't want to talk about the exact number? Give a hint. Budget transparency helps to save time. If you’re hiring freelancers and don’t want to waste time filtering through a sea of candidates, a bit of detail in your post can make a world of difference. After all, we all want to save time, get work done and make money. If you want to hire a freelance personal finance writer, DM me. #personalfinance #freelancewriter #bfsi

I read numerous posts from recruiters regarding freelance content writers. Freelance writers do not complete any assignments after applying for the position. The recruiter believes they are not serious about the position. But what about those recruiters who gave assignments without payment, and when we, as writers, submit them, they simply vanish? No matter how many times you follow up with them, there is no response... I have no idea how many sample assignments I have written from the last three months. Most recruiters don't bother to respond with a YES or NO. If you are serious about hiring, only then give assignments to write on. 🙏🙏 What are your thoughts about it? 🤔 #freelancecontentwriter #contentwriter #sampleassignment

As a content consultant with over 6 years of experience, it is my obligation to educate new content writers on what constitutes exploitation. I recently came across a job post for a technical writer as a freelancer that was shocking. The post requested a free task, which I understand, but the job description was concerning. They are looking for freelancers who will earn between Rs 15 to 20,000 per month and write 5000 words daily, with 10% TDS deductible. Please be careful and avoid falling for these companies who aim to extort talent for pitiful cash. #FreelanceContentWriter #FreelanceWriter #ContentWriter #CorporateMemes #OfficeMemes #Memes #WorkMemes #MemesDaily #CorporateLife #WorkHumor #Corporate #Work #FunnyMemes #OfficeHumor P.S: Remember, technical writers are the highest paid in the industry.
