I’m Sarah Martin and I’d like to be your new copywriter. I want this because I am a bit bored at the moment. I think I’m bored because I’m freelancing, moving from contract to contract, and have no real investment in the products or people that I’m working with.

 

And yes, I realize that sentence ended on a preposition.

 

I want to be challenged, I want to be allowed to think out of the box, I want to be a little outside my comfort zone, and more than anything I want to keep learning. In return I will study everything I can about your products, your philosophy, and all the things you want out of life. I will write amazing sentences reflecting all of it, and listen when it’s not what you want, and maybe argue a little if I think my way is better, and listen when you still think it isn’t, and re-write, re-write, re-write, until we are both happy and high-fiving (maybe only figuratively - I’m bad at high-fives; I get stressed about whether I’m going to hit too hard or too soft and in the right place).

 

I’m looking for an environment that is Creative. Fast-pace. Fun. Demanding. Full of people who like what they do and laugh at themselves.

 

I’m confident in my ability to talk (and listen) with anyone about anything, and I’m confident in my ability to write across many genres and in many voices. I’m less confident in my ability to successfully navigate stairs, but my clumsiness shouldn’t impede my typing. I’m also a pretty awesome baker (never underestimate the power of the cream puff for office morale).
