Fighting For the Spotlight

A lot of people don’t know or understand exactly what my job is. I tend to have to explain it to them more than once. I work for a company that specializes in Chicago marketing online as a writer. I generally call myself a web content writer since I’m the one writing the content for websites in the forms of blogs and web articles. However, I also function as a utility man for general questions on grammar, spelling, and writing. I’ve looked over letters and memos, business plans, and such and I’m also supposed to be doing some copywriting. So sometimes I say that I’m a business writer. That generally covers everything I do. It makes it sound like I work down on Wall Street and knows about stocks and bonds and everything, but that’s all right. Web content is an online marketing company’s business anyway. Once I explain all that, people generally get it. I wish I didn’t have to spend 10 to 15 minutes explaining my job to people, but I still do. Everyone wants to be appreciated and acknowledged for the job they do, especially if they think they’re doing a good job. Even if they hate or love their job, they want to be praised for doing it.
