Everyone has an excuse for breaking a writing deadline.
The dog died. Car accident. Sick uncle. Dog ate it (same dog). Too busy at work. Computer failure. Wedding anniversary. Alien invasion. We’ve heard them all.
We’ve even had people contact us, pay and then go on holiday.
I had a client recently who said she it seemed like ‘a lot of work’ to update her resume for a ‘crappy Christmas job’ (which she wanted) – and then wanted her money back.
We run a deadline-focused business and we’re trying to get you a job.
We’re senior recruiters, journalists and professional writers, who work closely with recruiters and employers.
Break deadlines or go off on holidays without notification and we terminate immediately. Why?
- It shows the client isn’t professional.
- It shows he or she can’t manage their time.
- It shows getting a job is low on their list of priorities.
- It disrespects the writer or writers.
- It attacks our business model.
- It wastes time we could have spent helping people who are desperate to get a job or a promotion.
Break a deadline and you are history.
