Why you should not hire me, reasons here

I think you should not hire me to do work, you should not pay me for my efforts, you should not make me part of your project, business or team. Why, here are my reasons 1. I am not yes boss person, I am straight forward, you like it or not who cares. 2. I am lazy. I don't like to carry my cell phone everywhere, it makes my weight some extra. 3. I am time waster. I take my own time to finish a task. I cannot work in hurry. 4. I am unavailable. I love my sleep. I  stay in silent zone. You need to fix time to speak on important stuff. And you should be available in given time. 5. I am not good friend. I won't tell your team where do I live. When I do party. What is my age? How much I earn. I don't want anyone to peep into my personal space. 6. I perform poorly. You are looking to make that thing so big, you are looking to beat an intel or google.

Valentine's day: An opportunity to thrive in career

 The month of February, precisely 14th February, gives us a chance to live in the present, accept change and embrace new opportunities. Generally, supposed as a festival of young adults, beyond common beliefs, the festival is for everyone who can spread a message of love and peace, who can share a smile.

Why to hire human copywriter when AI can do the job

Good question, that many many many zombies throw at me when I discuss Copywriting. Of course Copywriting is not for zombies. If you are a person or company who has hired a Copywriter to make money then do not hire. Your goal is survival and not zoom or use change as an opportunity. Your question is pretty similar: why drink water when I have sweetlime tree in the backyard and a juicer in the kitchen. However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both.

It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...
