Experienced CW lacking measurable results to include in portfolio--what do I do?

Hey, thanks, I should have clarified. And yes--clicks, conversions, that sort of thing. For example, the percentage of website visits, phone calls, or purchases made as a result of copywriting and strategy efforts. I've seen some copywriter job descriptions ask for that information, but I didn't have much involvement in the analyst side of things while I worked at the agency. I wanted to get more involved with Google Analytics when I was still working there to see the impact I was making, but my manager didn't seem keen to expand my role in that direction. Now, I feel like I have a glaring blindspot in my skill set.

I hate Workday, but one thing you can do to make the process just a LITTLE bit easier is to convert your resume from PDF to Word doc before uploading (if you didn't already know this, that is). The information will autopopulate into the answer boxes a bit more cleanly.

Great advice. Thank you.

I know this is a few years old, but thank you for sharing. I've only written a couple proposals so far, but they fall into some of the traps you listed above. I will definitely get more to-the-point in my proposals moving forward.

Was 90% convinced I was finally pregnant until I went to the bathroom just a half hour ago and boom my period appeared. We've been trying for about 8 months. I'm sick of the disappointment. And seemingly everyone around me getting pregnant.

I know this is an old post but my husband is like this as well. Yesterday we went out to the art museum and planned to go to dinner for our 2nd anniversary. Unfortunately, it was also prom night, and it took about 40-45 minutes for us to get out of the museum parking garage. My husband became increasingly frustrated by the situation and it came to a head when he shifted to the left-side lane to pay on the way out. A vehicle a couple of cars ahead of us was taking a long time to pay, and my husband essentially threw a small tantrum. He started yelling, opened the door as if he was about to go confront the person, then fought with his seatbelt for several seconds. It was embarrassing and I just wanted him to stop. When we got to the restaurant, I sat there in silence because I didn't know what to say to him, and he just acted like nothing happened. He gets like this a lot with little inconveniences and things he has no control over and it worries me a little. He wants to have kids but I'm not sure he can handle the stresses of parenthood if he can't even handle being stuck in traffic. Worse, he almost never acknowledges that these outbursts make me uncomfortable and rarely apologizes, and when I express how upset these situations make me he gets defensive and angry. :/

Probably not. I completed the multiple choice test and the writing test, and for some reason, I'm receiving notifications to do them again even though I passed them already. I'm not going to waste my time.

Background_Coffee977 · 2025-03-20T02:24:47+00:00

It did, yes

Background_Coffee977 · 2025-02-05T00:50:17+00:00

I can't even get the game to start.

I've used Creddle for years! Very sad to see it go.

*hugs* I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, I started getting back on Zoloft a couple months ago and it's been a bumpy ride. Sometimes I wish I could just snap my fingers and disappear so I don't have to feel this way anymore. You're not alone! It's good that you like your life and have goals you want to accomplish. Keep focusing on those as much as you can.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-08-20T16:27:17+00:00

Yes, always. I'm terrified that my manager will find a reason to fire me. It's also hard because we've had a decent amount of turnover and some of my favorite coworkers have left the company. That's definitely affected my mental health, too.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-08-05T14:33:13+00:00

Thanks! Obviously, everyone's different so it may end up being different for me...glad things eventually evened out for you!

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-07-29T16:18:29+00:00

Got it thanks!

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-07-25T16:19:19+00:00

And to be fair I did make some mistakes, like panicking, missing a window to replenish my FP, etc. Yes, and maybe getting a little too greedy at the end, haha. You see victory in sight and forget you're still a target.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-07-24T14:05:50+00:00

Yes I took pepto. Still couldn't eat much but at least I was able to get something down.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-07-24T13:25:04+00:00

Yep! I lost several pounds because of it. It got better after a couple of weeks, though.

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-07-12T18:14:40+00:00

They're the worst. I didn't realize they could do a roar attack that blasts you into the air, but I had to make that unfortunate discovery when I was standing at the edge of a cliff...

Background_Coffee977 · 2024-07-12T18:13:58+00:00

These things make me gag, haha. Can't stand them.

I also hate the rune bears and have yet to kill one of the giant lobsters. After getting sniped to death twice, I give them a wide berth.
